Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, ZIP 30318, one of several in Atlanta, Georgia sits in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,504th) and the top 16% of Georgia (113th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 0.7% nationally, transit registers in the top 1.2% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol lands in the bottom 1.9% nationally. Modeled hearing disability resides in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and coronary heart disease lies in the bottom 3.0% nationally. On the other hand, distance to a Superfund site settles at the national minimum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the top 2.5% nationally. Modeled loneliness is in the top 3.8% nationally, and transportation noise rests in the top 4.8% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits in the top 5.4% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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. ZIP 30305, just across the boundary, ranks healthier 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

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.
