Judged by its overall standing, Centerville, Georgia (ZIP 31028) sits in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,465th) and the top 36% of Georgia (258th).
A healthy showing across the board, and a few measures carry it: childcare registers in the top 11.5% nationally, home broadband subscription is in the top 16% nationally, and walkability lies in the top 16% nationally. On the other hand, modeled short sleep registers in the top 4.7% nationally, air-toxics cancer risk is in the top 4.5% nationally, and humid heat lies in the top 11.5% nationally. Modeled loneliness registers in the top 14.6% nationally, and PFOA in drinking water is in the top 17% nationally. Recreation lies at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat registers in the top 19% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 31008, just across the boundary.

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 1.85 years of 78.0, 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.
