ST92ndUS91stDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”
Full methodology ›Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance

ST99thUS77thDefinition & source ›
The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.
Full methodology ›The read
On the measures available for this ZIP, Eubank, Kentucky (ZIP 42567) lands in the bottom 9.0% nationally (29,200th) and the top 47% of Kentucky (349th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
So far as the data reaches, a few readings can be drawn: distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 7.0% nationally, and grocery rests in the top 9.0% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure resides at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled tooth loss is in the top 7.9% nationally, poverty lands in the top 7.1% nationally, and fatal road crashes stands in the top 10.6% nationally. Household income registers in the bottom 10.5% nationally. Recreation settles at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Modeled short sleep sits in the top 17% nationally. Physicians lies at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs.
For anyone unfamiliar, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain".

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 0.61 years of 73.8, 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.
