Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Pettigrew, Arkansas (ZIP 72752) places in the bottom 22% nationally (24,913th) and the top 28% of Arkansas (158th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures that matter most for this area lead the way: crowded housing lands in the top 2.9% nationally, and walkability stands in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure registers in the top 5.2% nationally, and distance to a nursing home settles in the top 5.7% nationally. On the better side, modeled tree cover sits in the top 0.6% nationally, park land lies in the top 1.4% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests at the national minimum. Modeled arsenic resides in the bottom 3.0% nationally, pfas is in the bottom 3.5% nationally, and transportation noise lands 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, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. 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 72628, 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 0.94 years of 78.2, 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.
