Arsenic in groundwater

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.

On balance, and by the composite measure, Tiger, Georgia (ZIP 30576) ranks in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,288th) and the top 36% of Georgia (255th).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled arsenic settles in the bottom 0.7% nationally, and pfas lies in the bottom 1.2% nationally. Elder services resides in the top 1.3% nationally, and park land lands in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled tree cover registers in the top 4.5% nationally, modeled short sleep sits in the bottom 14.5% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 15% nationally. Unemployment is in the bottom 15% nationally. Against that, modeled high cholesterol stands in the top 8.6% nationally, and distance to an emergency room settles in the top 16% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, elder services runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 30523, 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 1.55 years of 78.2, 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. How distance is measured
