On balance, and by the composite measure, Rayle, Georgia (ZIP 30660) ranks in the bottom 31% nationally (22,271st) and the bottom 42% of Georgia (411th).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: fiber broadband settles in the top 8.1% nationally, and modeled pfas lies in the bottom 10.3% nationally. Housing-cost burden resides in the bottom 13.5% nationally. Against that, crowded housing lands in the top 5.2% nationally, modeled diabetes registers in the top 7.2% nationally, and walkability sits in the bottom 10.3% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure rests in the top 9.8% nationally, stroke is in the top 10.1% nationally, and humid heat stands in the top 11.1% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol settles in the top 10.2% nationally.
In plainer terms, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors.

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 1.65 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.
