Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Hagarville, Arkansas (ZIP 72839) lands in the bottom 19% nationally (25,919th) and the top 38% of Arkansas (216th).
The burdens that read clearest in the data come first: unemployment resides in the top 1.1% nationally, and modeled tooth loss lands in the top 3.4% nationally. Walkability registers in the bottom 2.7% nationally, and modeled hearing disability sits in the top 6.5% nationally. Better still, modeled tree cover rests in the top 0.4% nationally, park land is in the top 0.5% nationally, and housing-cost burden stands at the national minimum. Modeled transportation noise settles at the national minimum, poverty lies at the national minimum, and modeled pfas resides in the bottom 3.9% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, 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. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor 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 0.99 years of 76.6, 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.
