The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 1.0% nationally, homeownership rests at the national maximum, and modeled colon screening lies in the top 2.4% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 5.2% nationally. Unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 7.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. By contrast, distance to a nursing home is in the top 6.4% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.

Defined in plain terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 13685, about 2.2 miles away.

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 0.83 years of 79.0, 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.
