in the bottom 8.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST13th

Definition & source ›

The share of residents whose income is below the federal poverty line, from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

Energy-cost burden

1.7%

in the bottom 8.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST11th
US8th
Definition & source ›

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

A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Full methodology ›

Lithium in drinking water

30 µg/L

in the top 31% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST92nd
US69th
Definition & 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 ›

Arsenic in groundwater

5.2%

in the top 36% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US64th
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.

A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

continue reading

Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: household income stands in the top 2.6% nationally, poverty rests in the bottom 8.1% nationally, and modeled food insecurity registers in the bottom 9.2% nationally. Modeled transportation resides in the bottom 9.9% nationally, energy burden settles in the bottom 8.1% nationally, and utility shutoff is in the bottom 10.9% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity sits in the bottom 11.4% nationally, and homeownership lands in the top 11.8% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health lies in the bottom 11.5% nationally, and tooth loss stands in the bottom 10.1% nationally.

Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. On the overall standing, ZIP 20112, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.95 years of 80.5, 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.
