Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Lovejoy, Georgia (ZIP 30250) lands in the bottom 47% nationally (16,981st) and the top 40% of Georgia (286th).
Several serious readings shape the profile and deserve first mention: modeled colon screening resides in the bottom 0.4% nationally, walkability settles at the national minimum, and modeled binge drinking is in the top 1.9% nationally. Modeled short sleep sits in the top 2.8% nationally, and loneliness lands in the top 2.4% nationally. On the better side, modeled high cholesterol lies in the bottom 1.3% nationally, and coronary heart disease stands in the bottom 1.4% nationally. Modeled hearing disability rests in the bottom 1.8% nationally, and expected annual loss registers in the bottom 3.0% nationally. Floodplain exposure resides at the national minimum.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". On the overall standing, ZIP 30228, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 3.14 years of 79.3, 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.
