Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 30044, one of several in Lawrenceville, Georgia, on the composite measure, lands in the top 29% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,393rd) and the top 22% of Georgia (153rd).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: lead in tap water lies at the national minimum, modeled hearing disability settles in the bottom 7.2% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease stands in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Working the other way, modeled uninsured is in the top 4.4% nationally, loneliness rests in the top 4.0% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk sits in the top 4.5% nationally. Crowded housing registers in the top 8.9% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss lands in the top 9.9% nationally. Housing-cost burden resides in the top 10.7% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity lies in the top 10.8% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 30045, 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 0.59 years of 78.6, 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.
