Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Fairburn, Georgia (ZIP 30213) lands in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,826th) and the top 24% of Georgia (172nd).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled hearing disability resides in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 8.0% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease registers in the bottom 7.8% nationally, and mammography sits in the top 8.3% nationally. Against that, modeled short sleep rests in the top 1.3% nationally, loneliness is in the top 2.8% nationally, and housing insecurity stands in the top 6.6% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk settles in the top 7.6% nationally, outer-floodplain exposure lies in the top 8.3% nationally, and modeled utility shutoff resides in the top 8.4% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 30135, 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 0.49 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. How distance is measured
