From the measures on hand, the profile can say a few things: housing-cost burden sits at the national minimum, poverty registers at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription lands at the national maximum. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 3.3% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 3.7% nationally. Against that, homeownership settles at the national minimum, and PFOA in drinking water stands at the national maximum. PFOS in drinking water is at the national maximum, and floodplain exposure rests in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits in the top 4.8% nationally.
