By its overall health score, Newborn, Georgia (ZIP 30056) lands in the bottom 47% nationally (16,928th) and the top 40% of Georgia (281st).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 11.7% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 16% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies in the top 21% nationally. Against that, modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 6.4% nationally, unemployment lands in the top 9.7% nationally, and modeled humid heat registers in the top 12.6% nationally. Physicians sits at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home rests in the top 19% nationally, and modeled loneliness is in the top 21% nationally. Childcare stands at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 30055, 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 1.12 years of 75.7, 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.
