By the composite health measure, Powder Springs, Georgia (ZIP 30127) ranks in the top 21% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,735th) and the top 14.8% of Georgia (105th).
A number of measures place this area on solid footing: modeled hearing disability lies in the bottom 10.0% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lands at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Home broadband subscription sits in the top 14.2% nationally, modeled coronary heart disease is in the bottom 14.6% nationally, and household income settles in the top 13.0% nationally. By contrast, modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 4.5% nationally, modeled expected annual loss registers in the top 6.0% nationally, and PFAS in drinking water rests in the top 13.7% nationally. Modeled loneliness stands in the top 14.2% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Close by, ZIP 30064, just across the boundary, 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 0.47 years of 78.8, 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.
