Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 6.0% nationally. On the other side, walkability resides in the bottom 5.4% nationally, modeled obesity settles in the top 4.7% nationally, and distance to a nursing home is in the top 8.2% nationally. Home broadband subscription sits in the bottom 8.6% nationally, and unemployment lands in the top 10.2% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies in the top 12.1% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 13.2% nationally. Modeled tooth loss rests in the top 14.4% nationally, and energy burden registers in the top 12.6% nationally.

Defined simply, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. ZIP 13630, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 1.18 years of 81.2, 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.
