Overall, ZIP 30019, one of several in Dacula, Georgia places in the top 13.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,167th) and the top 8.9% of Georgia (63rd).
The standout strengths in the data are the natural place to begin: modeled hearing disability is in the bottom 6.4% nationally, and home broadband subscription lands in the top 8.3% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease stands in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and lead in tap water registers in the bottom 9.6% nationally. Household income settles in the top 10.8% nationally, modeled stroke sits in the bottom 10.2% nationally, and modeled mobility disability lies in the bottom 12.5% nationally. Poverty rests in the bottom 14.3% nationally. On the other side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 4.5% nationally, and loneliness is in the top 11.2% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 30017, about 1.8 miles away. Further still, the area also sits on the healthier half of the national range on at least seven of the ten good-life measures tracked here, from quiet and green space to nearby care, a combination reached by about one in twenty-five US ZIP codes.

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 0.52 years of 79.8, 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
