A demanding profile, and several measures drive it: modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 1.7% nationally, loneliness registers in the top 1.8% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk is in the top 4.5% nationally. Slow internet speeds lies in the top 4.7% nationally, and modeled tree cover registers at the national minimum. On the stronger side, walkability is in the top 0.7% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies at the national minimum. Poverty registers at the national minimum, and modeled expected annual loss is in the bottom 2.4% nationally. Homeownership lies at the national maximum.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure.

Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 30016, about 0.4 miles away.

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 1.78 years of 71.6, 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.
