By the composite measure, ZIP 86315, one of several in Prescott Valley, Arizona sits in the top 18% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,856th) and the top 23% of Arizona (89th).
Reading across the measures, this area's clearest strengths come through: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 3.2% nationally, modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 3.4% nationally, and modeled obesity resides in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 7.4% nationally, and utility shutoff settles in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled housing insecurity is in the bottom 8.1% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests in the top 9.1% nationally. By contrast, modeled mammography sits in the bottom 7.6% nationally, and arsenic registers in the top 9.4% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. ZIP 86301, just across the boundary, ranks 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 0.60 years of 78.9, 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.
