Full methodology ›The read
Working only from the data in hand, for Snow Lake, Arkansas (ZIP 72379), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
The measures that are covered come first, caveats noted: housing-cost burden lands at the national minimum, and modeled transportation noise registers at the national minimum. Homeownership sits at the national maximum, and home broadband subscription rests at the national maximum. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 4.3% nationally. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. By contrast, poverty settles at the national maximum, walkability lies in the bottom 2.4% nationally, and slow internet speeds resides in the top 3.7% nationally. Floodplain exposure lands in the top 6.2% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, poverty runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain".

| Life expectancy at birth | 81.4 yr ± 2.50 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 76.2 yr (73.4–79.7) n=580 |
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 2.50 years of 81.4, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
