By its overall health score, Parrott, Georgia (ZIP 39877) lands in the bottom 23% nationally (24,677th) and the bottom 32% of Georgia (486th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: modeled binge drinking is in the bottom 4.9% nationally.

Modeled high blood pressure lies in the top 3.8% nationally, coronary heart disease resides in the top 5.1% nationally, and high cholesterol lands in the top 3.7% nationally. Home broadband subscription registers in the bottom 5.7% nationally, modeled nitrate sits in the top 7.7% nationally, and modeled mobility disability rests in the top 9.0% nationally. Modeled humid heat is in the top 8.7% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 31780, 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 1.25 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.
