Full methodology ›The read
Stewart, Mississippi (ZIP 39767) ranks in the bottom 32% nationally (21,824th) and the top 26% of Mississippi (106th).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled pfas resides in the bottom 1.5% nationally, and housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 10.0% nationally. By contrast, poverty sits in the top 2.9% nationally, and unemployment resides in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol stands in the top 3.0% nationally, modeled high blood pressure sits in the top 5.7% nationally, and households without a vehicle resides in the top 6.5% nationally. Home broadband subscription stands in the bottom 6.9% nationally, modeled hearing disability sits in the top 8.0% nationally, and slow internet speeds resides in the top 9.9% nationally.
For context, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 39747, 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 0.92 years of 75.5, 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.
