Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Adrian, Georgia (ZIP 31002) sits in the bottom 25% nationally (24,183rd) and the bottom 34% of Georgia (470th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: fiber broadband is in the top 4.2% nationally, modeled arsenic rests in the bottom 4.8% nationally, and modeled pfas sits in the bottom 6.5% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 13.1% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lands at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Working the other way, unemployment resides in the top 4.6% nationally, and modeled loneliness lies in the top 8.4% nationally. Modeled humid heat settles in the top 9.1% nationally, and tooth loss stands in the top 11.0% nationally. Slow internet speeds is in the top 14.1% nationally.
In plain language, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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 Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. ZIP 30454, 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 1.24 years of 71.8, 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. How distance is measured
