Expected annual disaster loss
$0
in the bottom 3.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST3rdUS3rdDefinition & source ›
FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.
Full methodology ›Natural-disaster risk
in the bottom 3.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST2ndUS3rdDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.
Full methodology ›Transportation noise
14.0%
in the top 4.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden
4.9%
in the top 9.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST52ndUS90thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Walkability
46 intersections/sq mi
in the top 21% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST96thUS79thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance
0.27%
in the top 32% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS68thDefinition & source ›
The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.
Full methodology ›The read
From the measures that could be gathered, for West Farmington, Maine (ZIP 04992), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
The data opens carefully, on limited coverage: modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 3.0% nationally, and disaster risk lies in the bottom 3.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 12.3% nationally, modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 19% nationally, and walkability stands in the top 21% nationally. On the other hand, modeled transportation noise registers in the top 4.9% nationally, modeled energy burden settles in the top 9.9% nationally, and distance to a community health center sits in the top 18% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 80.7 yr ± 2.01 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 79.0 yr (76.1–82.5) n=363 |
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 2.01 years of 80.7, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
