Full methodology ›The read
Blevins, Arkansas (ZIP 71825), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 14.3% nationally (27,510th) and the bottom 47% of Arkansas (299th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled arsenic settles in the bottom 1.5% nationally, housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 7.7% nationally, and modeled transportation noise is in the bottom 10.5% nationally. On the other hand, modeled coronary heart disease rests in the top 4.7% nationally, hearing disability sits in the top 5.2% nationally, and high blood pressure registers in the top 8.1% nationally. Modeled mobility disability lands in the top 9.6% nationally, and fair or poor health resides in the top 10.4% nationally. Modeled obesity lies in the top 6.7% nationally, and stroke settles in the top 10.1% nationally.
In everyday language, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 71847, 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 1.52 years of 76.8, 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.
