By the composite measure, Resaca, Georgia (ZIP 30735) sits in the bottom 18% nationally (26,164th) and the bottom 23% of Georgia (546th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: grocery registers in the top 10.4% nationally, and modeled arsenic lands in the bottom 17% nationally. Working the other way, distance to an emergency room resides in the top 4.1% nationally, modeled disaster risk lies in the top 7.4% nationally, and modeled loneliness settles in the top 11.2% nationally. Unemployment stands in the top 12.4% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise is in the top 12.5% nationally. Modeled uninsured rests in the top 10.9% nationally, and colon screening sits in the bottom 12.8% nationally. Home broadband subscription registers in the bottom 16% nationally.
In plain language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. ZIP 30701, 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 0.65 years of 75.5, 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.
