Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Buckhead, Georgia (ZIP 30625) ranks in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,989th) and the top 15% of Georgia (107th).
The profile opens on a set of genuinely favorable readings: poverty rests in the bottom 6.9% nationally, and modeled utility shutoff is in the bottom 12.2% nationally. Housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 12.6% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 12.8% nationally. Fiber broadband lies in the top 13.6% nationally, modeled arsenic resides in the bottom 13.6% nationally, and modeled transportation lands in the bottom 13.7% nationally. On the other side, modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the top 4.7% nationally, fatal road crashes sits in the top 7.7% nationally, and modeled humid heat rests in the top 10.2% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 30642, 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 1.68 years of 75.7, 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
