The data is generous to this ZIP in several places worth naming: modeled tree cover sits in the top 4.1% nationally, homeownership settles in the top 9.0% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 9.1% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity stands in the bottom 9.5% nationally, and loneliness lands in the bottom 9.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled food insecurity resides in the bottom 9.8% nationally, and transportation rests in the bottom 9.9% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff lies in the bottom 13.5% nationally. Working the other way, distance to a community health center sits in the top 12.6% nationally.

In plain terms, 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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 03445, 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 1.55 years of 84.5, 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.
