Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, ZIP 30157, one of several in Dallas, Georgia lands in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,473rd) and the top 18% of Georgia (129th).
The profile opens on a set of genuinely favorable readings: park land registers in the top 5.6% nationally, and modeled hearing disability sits in the bottom 10.0% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease rests in the bottom 9.7% nationally, and energy burden is in the bottom 12.9% nationally. Modeled tree cover stands in the top 15% nationally. On the other side, modeled expected annual loss settles in the top 7.7% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 8.6% nationally, and PFOA in drinking water resides in the top 12.2% nationally. Modeled disaster risk lands in the top 15% nationally, and short sleep registers in the top 14.4% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, 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. PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 30101, 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 0.50 years of 77.1, 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.
