Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Harrison, Georgia (ZIP 31035) comes out in the bottom 19% nationally (26,123rd) and the bottom 24% of Georgia (543rd).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: modeled arsenic is in the bottom 7.7% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled binge drinking rests in the bottom 9.9% nationally. By contrast, modeled diabetes lies in the top 5.6% nationally, and loneliness sits in the top 5.9% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure settles in the top 6.3% nationally, and stroke registers in the top 6.9% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands in the top 9.7% nationally, and modeled self-care disability lands in the top 9.7% nationally. Modeled humid heat is in the top 10.3% nationally.
In plain terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 31018, 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 1.22 years of 77.8, 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.
