A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 6.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover lands in the top 12.4% nationally. Distance to a nursing home settles at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Crowded housing rests at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 16% nationally, and humid heat settles in the bottom 20% nationally. On the other side, unemployment rests in the top 17% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease lands in the top 17% nationally. Modeled energy burden settles in the top 17% nationally.

For clarity, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 13778, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.91 years of 81.1, 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.
