What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Pharmacy access

0.63 per 1,000 residents

in the top 3.1% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST97th
US97th
Definition & source ›

The number of pharmacies located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Natural-disaster risk

in the bottom 9.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST20th
US9th
Definition & source ›

This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.

Full methodology ›

Walkability

2.4 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 10.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST8th
US10th
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Full methodology ›

Uninsured (under 65)

5.5%

in the bottom 10.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST42nd
US10th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.

Radon

2.5 pCi/L

in the top 20% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST96th
US80th
Definition & source ›

The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.

Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

A number of measures place this area on solid footing: pharmacy stands in the top 3.1% nationally, and modeled disaster risk lies in the bottom 9.1% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure sits in the bottom 13.1% nationally, outpatient is in the top 17% nationally, and modeled humid heat settles in the bottom 17% nationally. By contrast, fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Walkability registers in the bottom 10.2% nationally, modeled arsenic rests in the top 14.8% nationally, and modeled binge drinking stands in the top 16% nationally.

A note on the 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 14057, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 1.13 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.
