The read
Huttig, Arkansas (ZIP 71747) ranks in the bottom 11.7% nationally (28,341st) and the bottom 36% of Arkansas (362nd).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled binge drinking rests in the bottom 3.7% nationally, and transportation noise lands in the bottom 6.1% nationally. On the other side, modeled high blood pressure settles in the top 1.9% nationally, and unemployment rests in the top 3.6% nationally. Floodplain exposure lands in the top 4.2% nationally, modeled diabetes settles in the top 6.0% nationally, and modeled stroke rests in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled mobility disability lands in the top 6.8% nationally, lead in tap water settles in the top 7.4% nationally, and modeled fair or poor health rests in the top 9.6% nationally.
For context, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 71765, 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 1.63 years of 76.0, 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.
