Full methodology ›The read
On the limited readings gathered so far, Weeksbury, Kentucky (ZIP 41667) lands in the bottom 0.6% nationally (31,882nd) and the bottom 8.5% of Kentucky (679th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A few available readings carry what can be said: modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 0.3% nationally, tree cover is in the top 0.7% nationally, and transportation noise lies at the national minimum. Homeownership registers at the national maximum, and housing-cost burden is in the bottom 5.0% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Working the other way, modeled tooth loss registers in the top 1.8% nationally, and short sleep is in the top 3.1% nationally. Households without a vehicle lies in the top 3.7% nationally, and modeled energy burden registers in the top 4.4% nationally.
Put plainly, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 41572, 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 1.71 years of 71.8, 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.
