The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Elko, Georgia (ZIP 31025), on the composite measure, lands in the top 19% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,069th) and the top 13.8% of Georgia (98th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: household income settles in the top 6.3% nationally, fiber broadband stands in the top 5.8% nationally, and modeled arsenic is in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 8.2% nationally, and homeownership sits in the top 11.7% nationally. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled energy burden lands in the bottom 14.8% nationally. Working the other way, fatal road crashes resides in the top 1.8% nationally, and modeled short sleep lies in the top 6.7% nationally. Slow internet speeds settles in the top 13.8% nationally.
In everyday language, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 31047, about 4.1 miles away.

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 2.58 years of 78.3, 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
