Arsenic in groundwater
0.80%
in the bottom 0.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST2ndUS1stDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Uninsured (under 65)
18.7%
in the top 5.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST91stUS94thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.
Full methodology ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the top 11.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST96thUS89thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
3.2 per 100,000 residents per year
in the bottom 11.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST5thUS11thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Tree cover
64.9%
in the top 12.0% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST91stUS88thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area covered by forest.
Full methodology ›Mammography

The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.
Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Baldwin, Georgia (ZIP 30511) sits in the bottom 28% nationally (23,141st) and the bottom 38% of Georgia (438th).
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: modeled arsenic lands in the bottom 0.3% nationally, fatal road crashes rests in the bottom 11.3% nationally, and modeled tree cover settles in the top 12.0% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 13.5% nationally, and park land rests in the top 15% nationally. On the other hand, modeled uninsured settles in the top 5.7% nationally, and loneliness lands in the top 10.9% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 11.2% nationally, and mammography settles in the bottom 13.2% nationally. Modeled colon screening lands in the bottom 13.4% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 30510, 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 0.87 years of 76.1, 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.
