The bright spots in the data define much of the story here: modeled transportation resides in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and food insecurity stands in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Household income sits in the top 6.9% nationally, and modeled mobility disability resides in the bottom 5.3% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability stands in the bottom 5.4% nationally, fair or poor health sits in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and utility shutoff resides in the bottom 8.6% nationally. Modeled independent living disability stands in the bottom 5.4% nationally. On the other side, modeled binge drinking sits in the top 4.2% nationally, and arsenic resides in the top 6.4% nationally.

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 1.42 years of 83.8, 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. How distance is measured
