The read
In overall standing, Milner, Georgia (ZIP 30257) comes out in the top 38% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,254th) and the top 28% of Georgia (196th).
Several good marks anchor the profile and deserve first mention: crowded housing is at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic resides in the bottom 16% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure rests at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas lies in the bottom 20% nationally. By contrast, modeled humid heat sits in the top 12.3% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Recreation registers at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Slow internet speeds stands in the top 19% nationally. Physicians lands at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs. Modeled loneliness is in the top 20% nationally.
In plain terms, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 30295, 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 1.05 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.
