Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Hermitage, Tennessee (ZIP 37076) lands in the top 40% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,822nd) and the top 12.2% of Tennessee (75th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: subsidized affordable housing lies in the top 1.4% nationally, and park land resides in the top 3.2% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease lands in the bottom 12.1% nationally. On the other hand, modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the top 7.3% nationally, floodplain exposure sits in the top 8.3% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss rests in the top 10.0% nationally. Homeownership is in the bottom 10.1% nationally, modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 10.4% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure settles in the top 12.5% nationally. Housing-cost burden lies in the top 13.4% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 37122, 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 0.62 years of 78.1, 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.
