A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Auburn, Georgia (ZIP 30011) lands in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,167th) and the top 23% of Georgia (163rd).
This area's strengths are easy to pick out across the measures: modeled coronary heart disease resides in the bottom 14.6% nationally, hearing disability settles in the bottom 17% nationally, and arsenic is in the bottom 17% nationally. Modeled energy burden sits in the bottom 18% nationally, and park land lands in the top 19% nationally. Working the other way, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 4.5% nationally, and loneliness stands in the top 9.5% nationally. Modeled pfas rests in the top 12.8% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden registers in the top 13.5% nationally. Modeled humid heat resides in the top 17% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. On the overall standing, ZIP 30019, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

Findings that name this ZIP
3 of our published findings list this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.
Below what income predicts
The ZIP codes that outlive their incomes
Estimated life expectancy is 77.2 ± 1.5 years. A median household income of $86,402 predicts 79.5 years — 2.3 years below.

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 0.75 years of 77.2, 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. How distance is measured
