The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.

Full methodology ›Physician access

Higher is healthier
ST94thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The number of physicians’ offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden
1.5%
in the bottom 4.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST3rdUS5thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Grocery access
0.18 per 1,000 residents
in the top 8.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”
Full methodology ›Colon-cancer screening

ZIP 37934, one of several in Farragut, Tennessee, by its overall standing, sits in the top 9.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,080th) and the top 1.8% of Tennessee (11th).
Several readings land clearly in this area's favor and shape the picture: fiber broadband rests in the top 4.7% nationally, household income lies in the top 6.6% nationally, and physicians sits in the top 7.4% nationally. Modeled energy burden settles in the bottom 4.6% nationally, grocery registers in the top 8.5% nationally, and modeled colon screening stands in the top 6.2% nationally. Modeled short sleep lands in the bottom 9.2% nationally, and independent living disability is in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Modeled self-care disability resides in the bottom 5.6% nationally.

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

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.
