The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

Full methodology ›The read
With only some of the sources reporting, for Yorklyn, Delaware (ZIP 19736), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
This area's available measures are set out plainly: poverty resides at the national minimum, home broadband subscription settles at the national maximum, and modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 5.3% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle lies at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Against that, housing-cost burden stands at the national maximum, and homeownership rests at the national minimum. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the top 4.5% nationally, and PFOA in drinking water resides in the top 9.3% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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.

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 3.45 years of 77.5, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
