In overall standing, Evans, Georgia (ZIP 30809) comes out in the top 9.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,090th) and the top 6.9% of Georgia (49th).
Several good marks anchor the profile and deserve first mention: household income sits in the top 8.1% nationally, fatal road crashes settles in the bottom 11.0% nationally, and modeled mammography registers in the top 8.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center stands at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled energy burden lands in the bottom 10.3% nationally, and mobility disability is in the bottom 11.4% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease resides in the bottom 12.1% nationally. Distance to a nursing home rests at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled expected annual loss lies in the top 5.8% nationally, and humid heat sits in the top 10.5% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Locally, no neighbor ranks healthier overall than this ZIP.

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 0.73 years of 80.3, 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. How distance is measured
