ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.

Gilmore, Arkansas (ZIP 72339), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 13.3% nationally (27,819th) and the bottom 42% of Arkansas (325th).
What the numbers press hardest on defines much of the story here: outer-floodplain exposure sits in the top 0.3% nationally, unemployment registers in the top 0.7% nationally, and modeled short sleep lands in the top 3.4% nationally. Modeled tooth loss resides in the top 4.8% nationally, high blood pressure lies in the top 2.9% nationally, and obesity settles in the top 2.0% nationally. Modeled loneliness stands in the top 3.8% nationally, and utility shutoff is in the top 4.9% nationally. On the encouraging side, housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 4.5% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 4.8% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 72384, 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

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.
