The read
By the composite measure, Allenhurst, Georgia (ZIP 31301) sits in the bottom 32% nationally (21,789th) and the bottom 44% of Georgia (401st).
Where this area is stretched, the data is unambiguous: outer-floodplain exposure settles in the top 1.9% nationally, modeled loneliness stands in the top 3.4% nationally, and floodplain exposure is in the top 4.6% nationally. Modeled humid heat rests in the top 5.3% nationally, homeownership sits in the bottom 6.6% nationally, and modeled short sleep registers in the top 7.5% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity lands in the top 7.3% nationally, and utility shutoff resides in the top 8.8% nationally. Better still, modeled hearing disability lies in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and arsenic settles in the bottom 9.1% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 31313, 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 1.34 years of 74.5, 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.
