FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.

ST99thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.

Lower is healthier
ST9thUS23rdDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›The read
From the measures that could be gathered, Versailles, Kentucky (ZIP 40383) lands in the top 37% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,728th) and the top 6.7% of Kentucky (49th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
From the data that is available, the profile takes shape carefully: distance to an emergency room is at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center lands at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 13.6% nationally, elder services registers in the top 18% nationally, and mental-health providers settles in the top 21% nationally. On the other side, modeled disaster risk sits in the top 5.9% nationally, expected annual loss lies in the top 6.1% nationally, and radon rests in the top 8.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. PFAS in drinking water is in the top 20% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 40347, 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 0.78 years of 77.7, 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.
