On balance, and by the composite measure, ZIP 30087, one of several in Tucker, Georgia ranks in the top 17% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,400th) and the top 11.2% of Georgia (79th).
The profile opens on a set of genuinely favorable readings: modeled binge drinking rests in the bottom 7.9% nationally, and park land is in the top 9.5% nationally. Modeled hearing disability stands in the bottom 11.0% nationally, and mammography settles in the top 12.3% nationally. Modeled energy burden lies in the bottom 15% nationally. On the other side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 4.5% nationally, modeled loneliness lands in the top 8.4% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure registers in the top 15% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 16% nationally, and lead in tap water rests in the top 17% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 30084, 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 0.53 years of 77.8, 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
