Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Warm Springs, Virginia (ZIP 24484) lands in the bottom 26% nationally (23,831st) and the bottom 19% of Virginia (703rd).
The burdens that read clearest in the data come first: home broadband subscription is in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease stands in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol settles in the top 5.3% nationally, and mobility disability lies in the top 9.6% nationally. Modeled stroke resides in the top 8.9% nationally. Better still, modeled tree cover lands in the top 1.7% nationally, park land registers in the top 2.5% nationally, and modeled pfas sits in the bottom 3.0% nationally. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 24426, just across the boundary.

How these were chosen: only ZIPs with a published Score appear — a nearby ZIP with too little data to score won’t. Nearby means closest by distance between ZIP boundaries, which can cross state lines. A similar health profile is a close match across the nine Score domains, not similar demographics. Distances are measured between ZIP boundaries — ZIPs that touch share a border. How distance is measured

About the ± — it’s this estimate’s give-or-take (statisticians call it the standard error). The true life expectancy for this ZIP most likely falls within 1.43 years of 77.4, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

How these lists were built: they draw only from ZIPs that have a published Score, so ZIPs with too little data to score are not listed. Distance-based lists use distance between ZIP boundaries with no state filter, so an out-of-state ZIP can appear. Statistically similar means a close match across the nine Score domains, not a demographic match: the measure is the cosine similarity between two ZIPs’ domain scores, taken over the domains both ZIPs have data for and only where that overlap covers at least six of the nine — and where no ZIP clears that minimum-overlap floor, that list is left out rather than filled with a weak match.
