Full methodology ›The read
With coverage still partial across the sources, Kenvir, Kentucky (ZIP 40847) lands in the bottom 0.4% nationally (31,953rd) and the bottom 6.8% of Kentucky (692nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The partial picture points to a handful of readings, with caveats: modeled disaster risk lies in the bottom 0.3% nationally, walkability stands in the top 0.4% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests at the national minimum. Set against that, households without a vehicle registers at the national maximum, home broadband subscription resides at the national minimum, and poverty settles at the national maximum. Modeled mammography is in the bottom 1.3% nationally, and short sleep sits in the top 1.5% nationally. Modeled tooth loss lands in the top 3.2% nationally, and slow internet speeds lies in the top 2.2% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, households without a vehicle runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. ZIP 40815, about 1.2 miles away, comes out healthier overall.
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.

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 0.91 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.
