Lithium in drinking water
9.2 µg/L
in the bottom 1.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST3rdUS1stDefinition & source ›
The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›Radon
2.9 pCi/L
in the top 11.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS89thDefinition & 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.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Springville, New York (ZIP 14141) ranks in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,402nd) and the bottom 50% of New York (873rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: lithium in drinking water stands in the bottom 1.3% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lies at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Dental providers sits in the top 11.1% nationally, elder services is in the top 11.6% nationally, and modeled mammography settles in the top 9.6% nationally. Distance to a nursing home resides at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Grocery registers in the top 14.1% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 14.2% nationally. On the other side, modeled radon stands in the top 11.2% nationally.
To spell things out, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. 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. Close by, ZIP 14025, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.15 years of 80.2, 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.
