Full methodology ›The read
With coverage still partial across the sources, Powderly, Kentucky (ZIP 42367) lands in the bottom 2.0% nationally (31,444th) and the bottom 24% of Kentucky (566th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's available measures are set out plainly: pharmacy settles in the top 0.7% nationally, childcare is in the top 1.6% nationally, and dental providers sits in the top 5.0% nationally. Modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss stands in the bottom 11.4% nationally. Against that, modeled tooth loss rests in the top 2.2% nationally, and short sleep registers in the top 6.3% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 16% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, pharmacy runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. ZIP 42330, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.
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 1.03 years of 75.9, 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.
