Mammography

84.4%

Higher is healthier

ST63rd
US99th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.

Outer-floodplain exposure

Lower is healthier

ST95th
US95th
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.

Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

Food insecurity

Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who experienced food insecurity in the past 12 months.

The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled mammography lies in the top 1.0% nationally, and food insecurity lands in the bottom 7.3% nationally. Modeled uninsured sits in the bottom 0.8% nationally, and household income is in the top 8.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled colon screening resides in the top 7.6% nationally. On the other side, outer-floodplain exposure registers in the top 4.9% nationally, and lead in tap water rests in the top 8.9% nationally. Fiber broadband stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas lies in the top 10.2% nationally.

Set beside the nearby areas, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. 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. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 01007, less than a tenth of a mile away, ranks better overall.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.89 years of 82.5, 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.
