Full methodology ›The read
With the picture still incomplete, Hueysville, Kentucky (ZIP 41640) lands in the bottom 1.8% nationally (31,508th) and the bottom 22% of Kentucky (581st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the data does reach, it says a few things here: modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and tree cover lands in the top 1.4% nationally. Unemployment resides at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center lies at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Set against that, modeled tooth loss settles in the top 2.9% nationally, and poverty stands in the top 2.2% nationally. Modeled short sleep is in the top 4.7% nationally, and household income rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled pfas sits in the top 12.5% nationally, and slow internet speeds registers in the top 12.7% nationally.
In everyday language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 41339, 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 1.42 years of 75.3, 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.
