Nebo, West Virginia (ZIP 25141), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 15% nationally (27,204th) and the top 25% of West Virginia (175th).
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 4.4% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol sits in the top 2.9% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure lies in the top 5.7% nationally. More encouragingly, modeled tree cover rests in the top 1.7% nationally, housing-cost burden resides at the national minimum, and homeownership is at the national maximum. Modeled expected annual loss lands in the bottom 6.1% nationally, and floodplain exposure stands in the bottom 7.1% nationally. Unemployment registers at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 7.8% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 26610, about 11 miles away.

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 1.51 years of 79.3, 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.
