Full methodology ›The read
Norman Park, Georgia (ZIP 31771), overall, ranks in the bottom 16% nationally (26,958th) and the bottom 19% of Georgia (579th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled pfas settles in the bottom 9.6% nationally. Distance to a community health center is at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled uninsured sits in the top 4.5% nationally, and tooth loss lands in the top 5.2% nationally. Modeled loneliness lies in the top 4.7% nationally, and crowded housing stands in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled humid heat rests in the top 9.5% nationally, and housing insecurity registers in the top 11.4% nationally. Modeled food insecurity resides in the top 11.7% nationally, and colon screening settles in the bottom 10.5% nationally.
Defined simply, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 31637, just across the boundary, comes out 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 0.85 years of 77.2, 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.
