The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

Full methodology ›The read
From what the available data documents, Isonville, Kentucky (ZIP 41149) lands in the bottom 1.3% nationally (31,676th) and the bottom 16% of Kentucky (621st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens on partial but real readings: modeled tree cover rests in the top 1.1% nationally, home broadband subscription lies at the national maximum, and fiber broadband sits in the top 2.9% nationally. Modeled pfas settles in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Against that, modeled tooth loss registers in the top 2.6% nationally, and unemployment stands in the top 0.8% nationally. Poverty lands in the top 1.6% nationally, and modeled mammography is in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Crowded housing resides in the top 3.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the top 4.0% nationally.
In plain terms, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 41472, 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.

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 0.99 years of 74.5, 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.
