The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Cohutta, Georgia (ZIP 30710) ranks in the top 43% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,917th) and the top 31% of Georgia (223rd).
Taken together, the profile's clearest strengths surface right away: outer-floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover registers in the top 21% nationally, and home broadband subscription sits in the top 22% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 22% nationally, and housing-cost burden is in the bottom 23% nationally. Against that, childcare stands at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat settles in the top 21% nationally, loud transportation noise lies in the top 22% nationally, and expected annual loss resides in the top 23% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lands in the top 23% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 30736, 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 0.85 years of 76.8, 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.
