What defines this ZIP

Humid extreme heat
146.9 days/year
in the top 5.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS95thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.
Full methodology ›PFAS in drinking water
8.8%
in the bottom 6.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST12thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Floodplain exposure
38.5%
in the top 6.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST95thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Homeownership rate
93.2%
in the top 11.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST96thUS89thDefinition & source ›
The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.
Full methodology ›Housing-cost burden
11.5%
in the bottom 11.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST7thUS12thDefinition & source ›
The share of households spending 30% or more of their income on housing.
Full methodology ›Crowded housing

Lower is healthier
ST91stUS86thDefinition & source ›
The share of occupied homes with more than one person per room, the Census definition of crowded housing.
Full methodology ›Radon
0.8 pCi/L
in the bottom 10.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST5thUS10thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Transportation noise
0.54%
in the bottom 16% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST3rdUS16thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.
Full methodology ›Distance to a nursing home
7.7 mi
in the top 17% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS83rdDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Medicare- or Medicaid-certified nursing home.
Full methodology ›Colon-cancer screening

The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.

The read
ZIP 31568, one of several in Woodbine, Georgia, in overall standing, comes out in the top 38% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,239th) and the top 27% of Georgia (195th).
A healthy showing across the board, and a few measures carry it: modeled pfas lands in the bottom 6.5% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Homeownership settles in the top 11.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden lands in the bottom 11.6% nationally. Modeled radon rests in the bottom 10.5% nationally. On the other hand, modeled humid heat settles in the top 5.5% nationally, and floodplain exposure lands in the top 6.7% nationally. Distance to an emergency room rests in the top 12.6% nationally, and crowded housing settles in the top 13.6% nationally. Slow internet speeds lands in the top 13.9% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 31565, 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 1.88 years of 76.6, 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.
