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 ›The read
By the composite health measure, Statham, Georgia (ZIP 30666) ranks in the top 28% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,951st) and the top 20% of Georgia (145th).
A handful of measures stand out most sharply across the profile here: modeled arsenic settles in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 14.8% nationally. Households without a vehicle registers in the bottom 17% nationally, and modeled energy burden rests in the bottom 18% nationally. Modeled hearing disability stands in the bottom 25% nationally. On the other side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the top 7.2% nationally, humid heat lands in the top 13.8% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 14.6% nationally. Modeled loneliness is in the top 18% nationally. Childcare settles at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs.
To spell things out, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Close by, ZIP 30549, just across the boundary, ranks healthier 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 0.80 years of 76.5, 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.
