Full methodology ›The read
With the picture still incomplete, Glencoe, Kentucky (ZIP 41046) lands in the bottom 8.0% nationally (29,511th) and the top 50% of Kentucky (370th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
With coverage still limited, the data points to what it can here: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 14.3% nationally, households without a vehicle lands in the bottom 16% nationally, and unemployment resides in the bottom 16% nationally. Modeled disaster risk lies in the bottom 17% nationally. Working the other way, modeled short sleep settles in the top 3.9% nationally, and loud transportation noise stands in the top 6.3% nationally. Fatal road crashes is in the top 12.9% nationally, and modeled tooth loss rests in the top 12.1% nationally. Modeled transportation noise sits in the top 13.3% nationally, and mammography registers in the bottom 15% nationally.
In everyday language, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 41035, 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. Compare it against the US, this state and the Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN metro area.
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 0.59 years of 73.7, 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.
