Where the data is kindest to this area, a few readings lead the way: modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 3.0% nationally, and tree cover sits in the top 5.5% nationally. Fiber broadband lies in the top 8.0% nationally, and modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 8.6% nationally. Modeled pfas resides in the bottom 9.2% nationally, and transportation noise is in the bottom 9.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise stands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. On the other hand, distance to a community health center registers in the top 9.6% nationally, and households without a vehicle settles in the top 9.7% nationally.

For readers new to these terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 13731, 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 1.11 years of 80.4, 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.
