Industrial-pollution burden

ST99thUS94thDefinition & 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.

US94thDefinition & source ›
The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Chittenango, New York (ZIP 13037), overall, ranks in the top 18% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,905th) and the top 42% of New York (735th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's most favorable readings come through plainly in the numbers: modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Pharmacy lies in the top 12.0% nationally. Distance to a nursing home stands at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled colon screening rests in the top 11.0% nationally, and civic registers in the top 15% nationally. Modeled uninsured resides in the bottom 5.8% nationally, and tooth loss settles in the bottom 14.6% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health is in the bottom 16% nationally. On the other side, modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 5.8% nationally, and lead in tap water lands in the top 6.1% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 13035, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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

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.
