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.

Overall, Maysville, Georgia (ZIP 30558) lands in the bottom 38% nationally (19,731st) and the top 49% of Georgia (350th).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled arsenic lies in the bottom 3.2% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 10.7% nationally. Homeownership sits in the top 16% nationally, and modeled tree cover is in the top 22% nationally. Set against that, modeled loneliness settles in the top 13.7% nationally, and humid heat resides in the top 14.8% nationally. Recreation registers at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Childcare rests at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs. Modeled mammography stands in the bottom 20% nationally. Park land lies at the national minimum, shared with about 48% of ZIPs.
A note on the terms: 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 30529, 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 0.78 years of 75.2, 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.
