The read

The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: modeled housing insecurity resides in the bottom 0.2% nationally, food insecurity lies in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and transportation settles in the bottom 0.3% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff stands in the bottom 0.5% nationally, loneliness is in the bottom 0.6% nationally, and cognitive disability rests in the bottom 1.0% nationally. Modeled short sleep sits in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and fair or poor health registers in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled independent living disability lands in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Working the other way, modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the top 4.5% nationally.

Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 19732, 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 1.14 years of 82.2, 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.
