The number of public-transit stops inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Overall, ZIP 30310, one of several in Atlanta, Georgia lands in the bottom 32% nationally (21,931st) and the bottom 43% of Georgia (404th).
Several measures weigh most on this area's profile, and they come first: modeled short sleep stands in the top 0.8% nationally, and loneliness lies in the top 2.5% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff lands in the top 3.4% nationally, and housing insecurity sits in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled transportation is in the top 4.4% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk settles in the top 4.5% nationally, and PFAS in drinking water resides at the national maximum. Modeled food insecurity registers in the top 5.0% nationally. On the better side, transit rests in the top 1.0% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 2.2% nationally.
A note on the terms: air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 30303, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

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 0.56 years of 72.5, 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
