By the composite health measure, Mount Juliet, Tennessee (ZIP 37122) ranks in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,974th) and the top 4.8% of Tennessee (29th).
A number of measures pull each way for this area: subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 9.0% nationally, and modeled energy burden is in the bottom 9.1% nationally. Park land settles in the top 12.4% nationally. Distance to a nursing home resides at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Household income registers in the top 12.2% nationally, modeled stroke rests in the bottom 12.5% nationally, and modeled self-care disability stands in the bottom 12.0% nationally. Set against that, modeled expected annual loss lies in the top 1.9% nationally, and disaster risk lands in the top 6.7% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, 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. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Close by, ZIP 37135, about 7.0 miles away, 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 0.44 years of 78.7, 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
