PFAS in drinking water
4.1%
in the bottom 0.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
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 ›Floodplain exposure
0.00%
at the national minimum
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

in the bottom 5.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST4thUS6thDefinition & source ›
FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.

Lower is healthier
ST5thUS7thDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.

Lower is healthier
ST76thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.

ST93rdUS88thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Medicare- or Medicaid-certified nursing home.
Full methodology ›The read
Working only from the data in hand, for Perkins, Georgia (ZIP 30822), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
On the limited coverage here, the data still marks out some readings: modeled pfas lies in the bottom 0.5% nationally, and floodplain exposure resides at the national minimum. Modeled expected annual loss lands in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and disaster risk registers in the bottom 6.6% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 12.4% nationally, and modeled arsenic is in the bottom 17% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure stands at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled humid heat settles in the top 8.2% nationally, and distance to a nursing home lies in the top 18% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake.

|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 73.5 yr ± 1.62 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 76.1 yr (73.3–79.7) n=668 |
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 1.62 years of 73.5, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
