Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 37043, one of several in Clarksville, Tennessee sits in the top 33% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,693rd) and the top 8.2% of Tennessee (50th).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: fiber broadband registers in the top 1.9% nationally, mental-health providers is in the top 5.5% nationally, and physicians lies in the top 8.2% nationally. Outpatient registers in the top 10.1% nationally, dental providers is in the top 12.8% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing lies in the top 13.0% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Against that, modeled expected annual loss is in the top 2.9% nationally, and short sleep lies in the top 11.6% nationally. Modeled disaster risk registers in the top 13.1% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Locally, no neighbor ranks healthier overall than this ZIP.

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 0.50 years of 77.6, 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. How distance is measured
