ST95thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

Full methodology ›The read
On the data available so far, Grayson, Kentucky (ZIP 41143) lands in the bottom 6.2% nationally (30,103rd) and the bottom 45% of Kentucky (411th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The available readings suggest a handful of things about this area: modeled tree cover lands in the top 6.1% nationally, and grocery settles in the top 6.6% nationally. Distance to a community health center rests at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 11.8% nationally. Distance to a nursing home settles at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled tooth loss rests in the top 5.9% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Distance to an emergency room settles in the top 16% nationally, and modeled mammography rests in the bottom 16% nationally. Modeled short sleep lands in the top 17% nationally.
For context, 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 41121, 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 0.69 years of 76.2, 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.
