Full methodology ›The read
Plainville, Georgia (ZIP 30733), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 12.1% nationally (28,212th) and the bottom 13.0% of Georgia (619th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled pfas rests in the top 5.3% nationally. On the other hand, home broadband subscription sits in the bottom 7.4% nationally, distance to an emergency room registers in the top 7.5% nationally, and poverty lands in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled mammography resides in the bottom 9.1% nationally, and loneliness lies in the top 9.5% nationally. Modeled colon screening settles in the bottom 10.5% nationally, and independent living disability stands in the top 11.9% nationally. Distance to a community health center is in the top 13.4% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise rests in the top 13.5% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 30103, 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 1.54 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.
