Health need and barriers to care documented here
On our reading, this ZIP code carries the overlap at its acute level: acute means at least three of the six health-need readings and at least three of the six access barriers apply to the same place.
These are two separate readings of public data that both apply to this place — never a claim that one causes the other, never a severity score, and never a statement about any person who lives here.
Health need documented here
- People without health insurance
- Food insecurity
- Housing insecurity
Barriers to reaching care
- Distance to the nearest emergency room
- Thin local supply of doctors
- Thin local supply of pharmacies
- Limited home internet for telehealth

On balance, and by the composite measure, Morgan, Georgia (ZIP 39866) ranks in the bottom 23% nationally (24,767th) and the bottom 31% of Georgia (492nd).
Plainly stated, a few measures mark out this area: modeled short sleep resides in the top 1.9% nationally, and home broadband subscription lands in the bottom 2.3% nationally. Modeled uninsured registers in the top 4.5% nationally, and unemployment sits in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled loneliness rests in the top 3.1% nationally, housing insecurity is in the top 5.0% nationally, and utility shutoff stands in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled tooth loss settles in the top 7.8% nationally. Better still, fatal road crashes lies at the national minimum, and modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 6.2% nationally.
In plainer terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 31721, about 4.7 miles away. The area additionally shows documented health need overlapping with barriers to reaching care, sitting in the most-affected 10% of US ZIP codes on several need measures and several access barriers.

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 2.13 years of 82.2, 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. How distance is measured
