Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Spring Hill, Tennessee (ZIP 37174) lands in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,200th) and the top 5.1% of Tennessee (31st).
This area's strengths are easy to pick out across the measures: home broadband subscription registers in the top 7.4% nationally, modeled stroke resides in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease settles in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Modeled energy burden is in the bottom 9.1% nationally, hearing disability sits in the bottom 11.0% nationally, and self-care disability lands in the bottom 8.4% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lies at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled mobility disability stands in the bottom 11.9% nationally. Working the other way, modeled expected annual loss rests in the top 2.6% nationally, and disaster risk registers in the top 13.2% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. On the overall standing, ZIP 37046, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.76 years of 80.8, 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.
