Industrial-pollution burden

in the bottom 5.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST23rd
US6th
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: modeled tree cover resides in the top 1.8% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Park land sits in the top 7.2% nationally, and modeled obesity resides in the bottom 10.0% nationally. Outpatient stands in the top 8.6% nationally, fiber broadband sits in the top 8.9% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity resides in the bottom 9.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Recreation sits in the top 9.8% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs.

Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. 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. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 03241, just across the boundary.

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 1.14 years of 81.8, 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.
