By the composite health measure, ZIP 30118, one of several in Carrollton, Georgia ranks in the top 28% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,948th) and the top 20% of Georgia (144th).
A number of measures pull each way for this area: fatal road crashes lies at the national minimum, and modeled transportation noise lands at the national minimum. Home broadband subscription sits at the national maximum, and modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Floodplain exposure settles at the national minimum. Set against that, modeled loneliness resides in the top 0.03% nationally, housing-cost burden registers at the national maximum, and slow internet speeds rests at the national maximum. Homeownership stands at the national minimum, and modeled cognitive disability lies in the top 3.1% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Close by, ZIP 30187, about 10 miles away, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.49 years of 74.0, 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
