Full methodology ›The read
From what the available data documents, Mize, Kentucky (ZIP 41352) lands in the bottom 1.5% nationally (31,600th) and the bottom 19% of Kentucky (599th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens on partial but real readings: fiber broadband resides in the top 3.0% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 4.9% nationally, and modeled tree cover lies in the top 5.1% nationally. Homeownership sits in the top 9.6% nationally. Crowded housing settles at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Lead in tap water registers in the bottom 14.6% nationally. Against that, modeled tooth loss stands in the top 1.8% nationally, and mammography lands in the bottom 9.7% nationally. Modeled short sleep is in the top 11.6% nationally. Recreation resides at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
In plain terms, 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. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 41408, 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 1.66 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.
