In overall standing, Collierville, Tennessee (ZIP 38017) comes out in the top 12.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,831st) and the top 2.6% of Tennessee (16th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: household income resides in the top 5.4% nationally, modeled energy burden rests in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and home broadband subscription lies in the top 8.5% nationally. Poverty sits in the bottom 11.5% nationally, and modeled fair or poor health settles in the bottom 10.3% nationally. By contrast, modeled expected annual loss registers in the top 1.0% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site stands at the national minimum. Modeled disaster risk lands in the top 4.8% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk is in the top 9.2% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 12.3% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 38138, 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 0.49 years of 81.0, 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.
