Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 52804, one of several in Davenport, Iowa ranks in the bottom 43% nationally (18,155th) and the bottom 18% of Iowa (754th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: subsidized affordable housing resides in the top 7.6% nationally, and modeled mammography stands in the top 8.3% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Fiber broadband resides in the top 19% nationally. Working the other way, modeled binge drinking stands in the top 4.5% nationally, modeled obesity sits in the top 7.0% nationally, and PFOA in drinking water resides in the top 10.4% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 12.8% nationally, modeled expected annual loss sits in the top 12.9% nationally, and households without a vehicle resides in the top 19% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 52726, just across the boundary.

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 0.49 years of 76.9, 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. How distance is measured
