What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Home broadband subscription
67.4%
in the bottom 4.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST5thUS5thDefinition & source ›
The share of households with a broadband internet subscription.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
44 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 5.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Arsenic in groundwater
1.3%
in the bottom 8.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST43rdUS9thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
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 ›Humid extreme heat
133.4 days/year
in the top 9.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST70thUS91stDefinition & 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 ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the bottom 11.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST4thUS11thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›Median household income
$40,962
in the bottom 6.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST7thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.
Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Ty Ty, Georgia (ZIP 31795) ranks in the bottom 31% nationally (22,248th) and the bottom 42% of Georgia (409th).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled arsenic is in the bottom 8.8% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 11.1% nationally. Crowded housing resides at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, home broadband subscription registers in the bottom 4.9% nationally, fatal road crashes rests in the top 5.6% nationally, and modeled humid heat stands in the top 9.0% nationally. Household income lies in the bottom 6.2% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise lands in the top 15% nationally. Recreation sits at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Modeled loneliness is in the top 18% nationally.
To spell things out, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Close by, ZIP 31793, 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 1.15 years of 77.1, 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.
