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.

Walkability

0 intersections/sq mi

at the national minimum

Higher is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

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

Full methodology ›

Natural-disaster risk

in the bottom 1.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST5th
US2nd
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 ›

Floodplain exposure

0.00%

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.

Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

Full methodology ›

Tree cover

0.00%

at the national minimum

Higher is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area covered by forest.

Full methodology ›

Expected annual disaster loss

$0

in the bottom 8.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST22nd
US8th
Definition & source ›

FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.

The read

Working from the partial data available, for ZIP 15290, one of several in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.

What the available data indicates is laid out plainly: modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 1.6% nationally, floodplain exposure settles at the national minimum, and modeled expected annual loss lands in the bottom 8.1% nationally. Distance to an emergency room rests in the bottom 17% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure settles at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center lands in the bottom 24% nationally, and modeled extreme heat rests in the bottom 25% nationally. Set against that, walkability settles at the national minimum, and modeled tree cover lands at the national minimum. Park land rests at the national minimum, shared with about 48% of ZIPs.

Set within its surrounding area, walkability runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain".

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 3.23 years of 75.4, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
