Overall, Mc Graws, West Virginia (ZIP 25875) lands in the bottom 11.4% nationally (28,435th) and the top 35% of West Virginia (245th).
A number of measures pull each way for this area: modeled tree cover registers in the top 0.7% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Poverty stands in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure lands in the bottom 8.6% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 9.3% nationally. Set against that, modeled high cholesterol is in the top 1.9% nationally, high blood pressure settles in the top 5.1% nationally, and tooth loss resides in the top 7.2% nationally.

A note on the terms: industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 25876, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 1.94 years of 76.1, 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.
