ZIP 72764, one of several in Springdale, Arkansas, overall, ranks in the bottom 16% nationally (27,066th) and the top 49% of Arkansas (276th).
Several serious readings shape the profile and deserve first mention: modeled disaster risk is in the top 0.4% nationally, uninsured sits in the top 2.7% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 1.1% nationally. Modeled mammography lies in the bottom 2.1% nationally, crowded housing stands in the top 3.6% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability rests in the top 4.8% nationally. Modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 5.2% nationally, and expected annual loss resides in the top 4.6% nationally. On the better side, subsidized affordable housing settles in the top 1.9% nationally. Distance to an emergency room is at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. ZIP 72703, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 0.40 years of 76.9, 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. How distance is measured
