ZIP 30040, one of several in Cumming, Georgia ranks in the top 4.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,494th) and the top 4.3% of Georgia (30th).
The strongest marks in the data are worth naming first: household income settles in the top 5.6% nationally, and modeled energy burden rests in the bottom 2.9% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease lands in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and home broadband subscription settles in the top 9.4% nationally. Modeled mobility disability rests in the bottom 7.6% nationally, stroke lands in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and hearing disability settles in the bottom 10.0% nationally. Distance to a community health center rests at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled expected annual loss lands in the top 3.2% nationally, and disaster risk settles in the top 4.0% nationally.
Against its neighbors, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 30004, just across the boundary.

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 0.54 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. How distance is measured
