Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Crown King, Arizona (ZIP 86343) sits in the top 31% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,955th) and the top 35% of Arizona (136th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: park land registers in the top 0.2% nationally, modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and modeled transportation noise resides at the national minimum. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies in the top 4.1% nationally, and floodplain exposure settles in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. On the other hand, distance to a nursing home is in the top 2.8% nationally, and modeled hearing disability rests in the top 4.5% nationally. Distance to an emergency room sits in the top 4.6% nationally, and walkability registers in the bottom 7.2% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far higher 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 85087, about 6.0 miles away, 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 3.22 years of 80.2, 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.
