Full methodology ›The read
Tarrytown, Georgia (ZIP 30470), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 47% nationally (17,020th) and the top 41% of Georgia (288th).
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: modeled pfas lands in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and fiber broadband stands in the top 4.1% nationally. Modeled arsenic registers in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 8.5% nationally. Housing-cost burden sits in the bottom 12.3% nationally. Crowded housing lies at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled humid heat rests in the top 8.0% nationally, home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 8.1% nationally, and distance to an emergency room is in the top 11.3% nationally. Slow internet speeds lands in the top 15% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 31022, about 29 miles away.

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 1.06 years of 76.2, 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.
