The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.

ST98thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden

Lower is healthier
ST98thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Greenway, Arkansas (ZIP 72430) lands in the bottom 19% nationally (25,979th) and the top 39% of Arkansas (221st).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled transportation noise lies in the top 6.5% nationally. On the other side, lithium in drinking water stands in the top 8.0% nationally, modeled energy burden rests in the top 7.9% nationally, and floodplain exposure registers in the top 12.4% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides in the top 13.2% nationally, and tree cover settles in the bottom 14.6% nationally. Walkability is in the bottom 14.8% nationally, and modeled extreme heat sits in the top 16% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability lands in the top 16% nationally, and home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 17% nationally.
Put simply, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. On the overall standing, ZIP 72436, about 8.9 miles away, ranks healthier.

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 73.6, 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.
