Full methodology ›The read
Maury City, Tennessee (ZIP 38050), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 22% nationally (24,976th) and the top 42% of Tennessee (257th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: fiber broadband registers at the national maximum, floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum, and modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 3.7% nationally. Housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 6.9% nationally. Unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss stands in the bottom 8.5% nationally, and binge drinking is in the bottom 9.2% nationally. On the other hand, modeled short sleep rests in the top 5.7% nationally, and obesity sits in the top 6.5% nationally. Distance to a community health center registers in the top 10.1% nationally.
In everyday language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 38337, about 7.8 miles away.

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 0.90 years of 73.4, 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.
