In its overall standing, Moreland, Georgia (ZIP 30259) lands in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,602nd) and the top 19% of Georgia (133rd).
Reading the numbers as a whole, this area's strong points come through first: modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 11.2% nationally, poverty rests in the bottom 14.0% nationally, and modeled energy burden registers in the bottom 16% nationally. Modeled tree cover resides in the top 18% nationally. Set against that, modeled humid heat settles in the top 11.9% nationally, and lead in tap water is in the top 15% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure sits in the top 16% nationally, and fatal road crashes lands in the top 19% nationally. Physicians lies at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs. Childcare stands at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs.
Against the wider neighborhood, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. On the overall standing, ZIP 30276, 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 2.05 years of 79.7, 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.
