Overall, Onia, Arkansas (ZIP 72663) places in the bottom 10.0% nationally (28,876th) and the bottom 30% of Arkansas (396th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: modeled mammography is in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and mobility disability lands in the top 7.3% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability stands in the top 7.8% nationally. More encouragingly, modeled transportation noise registers at the national minimum, homeownership settles at the national maximum, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 4.0% nationally. Modeled arsenic lies in the bottom 4.5% nationally, park land rests in the top 5.2% nationally, and housing-cost burden resides in the bottom 5.3% nationally. Poverty is in the bottom 5.5% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 72617, 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

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 1.29 years of 72.7, 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.
