Hermitage, Arkansas (ZIP 71647), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 5.5% nationally (30,306th) and the bottom 13.2% of Arkansas (488th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: fiber broadband resides in the top 3.7% nationally, and modeled arsenic sits in the bottom 6.0% nationally. On the other hand, modeled tooth loss stands in the top 3.7% nationally, fair or poor health resides in the top 5.1% nationally, and cognitive disability sits in the top 4.8% nationally. Walkability stands in the bottom 4.1% nationally, and modeled mammography resides in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Modeled mobility disability sits in the top 6.2% nationally, and independent living disability stands in the top 6.8% nationally. Modeled self-care disability resides in the top 7.4% nationally.
Defined simply, for reference, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 71635, 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 0.80 years of 73.1, 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.
