Temple, Georgia (ZIP 30179), by its overall standing, sits in the top 45% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,403rd) and the top 33% of Georgia (235th).
Several readings land clearly in this area's favor and shape the picture: modeled tree cover sits in the top 20% nationally, coronary heart disease settles in the bottom 22% nationally, and energy burden registers in the bottom 22% nationally. Modeled hearing disability stands in the bottom 24% nationally, and stroke lands in the bottom 28% nationally. Set against that, modeled loneliness is in the top 9.8% nationally.

Held up against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 30157, 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 0.59 years of 75.3, 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.
