By the composite measure, Callands, Virginia (ZIP 24530) sits in the bottom 10.3% nationally (28,770th) and the bottom 5.4% of Virginia (826th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: homeownership rests in the top 5.4% nationally, and modeled arsenic sits in the bottom 6.6% nationally. On the other hand, home broadband subscription registers in the bottom 1.5% nationally, modeled mobility disability lands in the top 4.2% nationally, and modeled stroke resides in the top 4.7% nationally. Modeled diabetes lies in the top 5.2% nationally, and independent living disability settles in the top 5.8% nationally. Modeled self-care disability stands in the top 6.8% nationally, and coronary heart disease is in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol rests in the top 4.6% nationally.
In plain language, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. ZIP 24054, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.39 years of 75.7, 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.
