Full methodology ›The read
From what the available data documents, for Sasser, Georgia (ZIP 39885), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
On what has been documented so far, the readings are limited but real: modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 1.7% nationally, poverty sits at the national minimum, and homeownership settles at the national maximum. Floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum, and modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 9.3% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Working the other way, households without a vehicle rests in the top 0.5% nationally, and modeled humid heat lies in the top 7.3% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, households without a vehicle runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby.

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 1.72 years of 75.3, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
