Full methodology ›The read
With coverage still partial across the sources, for Campbell, Alabama (ZIP 36727), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
Reading what data there is, a few things can be said: modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 0.7% nationally, modeled pfas rests in the bottom 1.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers at the national minimum. Households without a vehicle resides at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Working the other way, unemployment settles in the top 0.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription is in the bottom 0.9% nationally. Walkability sits in the bottom 2.4% nationally, and modeled humid heat lands in the top 6.6% nationally. Household income lies in the bottom 2.3% nationally, and distance to an emergency room stands in the top 9.4% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, unemployment runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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.
