Full methodology ›The read
Diamond City, Arkansas (ZIP 72630), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 25% nationally (24,146th) and the top 24% of Arkansas (136th).
A demanding profile, and several measures drive it: crowded housing stands in the top 1.0% nationally, modeled pfas resides in the top 1.1% nationally, and distance to a nursing home sits in the top 4.1% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol stands in the top 3.3% nationally, and hearing disability resides in the top 5.6% nationally. On the stronger side, fiber broadband sits at the national maximum, and modeled transportation noise stands at the national minimum. Floodplain exposure resides at the national minimum, and modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Walkability stands in the top 3.9% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 72601, about 6.0 miles away.

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 1.37 years of 78.7, 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.
