In its overall standing, Fort Huachuca, Arizona (ZIP 85613) lands in the top 10.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,280th) and the top 9.9% of Arizona (39th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled high cholesterol is in the bottom 0.9% nationally, industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and obesity lands in the bottom 4.1% nationally. Modeled self-care disability lies in the bottom 0.4% nationally, and floodplain exposure stands at the national minimum. On the other side, modeled colon screening rests in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and binge drinking registers in the top 0.9% nationally. Homeownership resides at the national minimum, and slow internet speeds settles in the top 0.6% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is in the top 5.0% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. On the overall standing, ZIP 85749, about 46 miles away, ranks healthier.

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 1.41 years of 78.8, 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. How distance is measured
