Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss is in the bottom 20% nationally. Against that, unemployment stands in the top 10.8% nationally, crowded housing settles in the top 10.9% nationally, and home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 14.1% nationally. Distance to a nursing home resides in the top 18% nationally. Physicians lands at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs. Fatal road crashes registers in the top 21% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site sits in the bottom 21% nationally. Childcare rests at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs.

In plainer terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 13140, 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 1.30 years of 80.9, 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.
