On the composite measure, ZIP 38054, one of several in Millington, Tennessee stands in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,132nd) and the top 7.8% of Tennessee (48th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled high cholesterol resides in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and coronary heart disease stands in the bottom 1.1% nationally. Modeled stroke sits in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and high blood pressure resides in the bottom 1.6% nationally. Modeled mobility disability stands in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and diabetes sits in the bottom 1.4% nationally. On the other side, modeled binge drinking resides in the top 0.5% nationally, modeled colon screening stands in the bottom 0.8% nationally, and slow internet speeds sits at the national maximum. Outer-floodplain exposure resides in the top 0.6% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". ZIP 38002, about 2.1 miles away, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.07 years of 74.4, 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.
