Fiber broadband
99.6%
in the top 3.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST94thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Grocery access
0.28 per 1,000 residents
in the top 4.0% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST95thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

On balance, and by the composite measure, Turbeville, South Carolina (ZIP 29162) ranks in the bottom 37% nationally (20,106th) and the top 50% of South Carolina (207th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: fiber broadband settles in the top 3.1% nationally, and grocery lies in the top 4.0% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 10.3% nationally. On the other hand, modeled uninsured lands in the top 7.0% nationally, crowded housing registers in the top 6.8% nationally, and modeled loneliness sits in the top 9.1% nationally. Modeled food insecurity rests in the top 9.5% nationally, modeled housing insecurity is in the top 9.9% nationally, and households without a vehicle stands in the top 10.5% nationally. Modeled transportation settles in the top 10.6% nationally.
In plainer terms, 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. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 29161, about 5.1 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

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.
