Full methodology ›The read
Working only from the data in hand, Jeff, Kentucky (ZIP 41751) lands in the bottom 3.7% nationally (30,895th) and the bottom 35% of Kentucky (482nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
On the limited coverage here, the data still marks out some readings: modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 2.7% nationally. Lead in tap water rests at the national minimum. Unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled loud transportation noise settles in the top 0.5% nationally, transportation noise lies in the top 1.6% nationally, and tooth loss resides in the top 6.5% nationally. Modeled mammography lands in the bottom 6.1% nationally, and short sleep registers in the top 6.5% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, loud transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 41701, 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.
Compared with the ZIP codes measured across all nine scoring domains — not with all US ZIP codes.

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 0.80 years of 71.5, 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.
