Danville, Arkansas (ZIP 72833), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 6.1% nationally (30,124th) and the bottom 14.8% of Arkansas (479th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: lead in tap water rests in the top 0.2% nationally, and modeled tooth loss resides in the top 3.6% nationally. Crowded housing is in the top 2.5% nationally, and modeled uninsured lands in the top 5.0% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability stands in the top 4.4% nationally, mammography registers in the bottom 4.2% nationally, and fair or poor health settles in the top 5.7% nationally. More encouragingly, pharmacy sits in the top 1.8% nationally, park land lies in the top 2.6% nationally, and mental-health providers rests in the top 2.6% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, lead in tap water runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead.

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 0.87 years of 75.8, 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.
