The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Overall, Hatfield, Arkansas (ZIP 71945) places in the bottom 14.3% nationally (27,492nd) and the bottom 48% of Arkansas (295th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 8.0% nationally. Pulling the other way, home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and modeled hearing disability sits in the top 7.0% nationally. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled coronary heart disease rests in the top 9.0% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 10.0% nationally, and household income is in the bottom 4.7% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure lands in the top 11.1% nationally, and mobility disability stands in the top 12.5% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 71953, 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 0.98 years of 74.9, 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.
