Working only from the data in hand, Tyner, Kentucky (ZIP 40486) lands in the bottom 7.6% nationally (29,648th) and the bottom 49% of Kentucky (382nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
What little the measures show is worth setting out plainly: fiber broadband is in the top 5.7% nationally. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover settles in the top 11.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 13.1% nationally. Crowded housing resides at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Unemployment lands in the bottom 16% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 17% nationally. On the other hand, modeled tooth loss sits in the top 6.8% nationally, fatal road crashes rests in the top 10.5% nationally, and home broadband subscription is in the bottom 14.6% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 40402, just across the boundary.
What’s driving this score
Nine domains make up the ZipVitals Score — here is how this ZIP does on each, and how much each one counts.
Compared with the ZIP codes measured across all nine scoring domains — not with all US ZIP codes.

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 1.20 years of 73.2, 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.
