By the composite measure, Lambrook, Arkansas (ZIP 72353) sits in the bottom 2.8% nationally (31,176th) and the bottom 3.8% of Arkansas (541st).
What the numbers press hardest on defines much of the story here: modeled coronary heart disease settles in the top 0.4% nationally, hearing disability stands in the top 0.7% nationally, and high blood pressure is in the top 0.5% nationally. Modeled tooth loss rests in the top 2.1% nationally, mobility disability sits in the top 1.2% nationally, and stroke registers in the top 1.8% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure lands in the top 0.8% nationally, and modeled mammography resides in the bottom 2.2% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health lies in the top 3.0% nationally, and home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 1.3% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure.

ZIP 72048, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 0.96 years of 72.6, 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.
