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.

Park land

80.6%

in the top 0.6% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST98th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.

Full methodology ›

Energy-cost burden

0.77%

in the bottom 0.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST25th
US1st
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 ›

Floodplain exposure

54.2%

in the top 3.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST95th
US97th
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 ›

Outer-floodplain exposure

11.5%

in the top 3.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST89th
US97th
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.

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 ›

Distance to a Superfund site

1.7 mi

in the bottom 10.0% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST30th
US10th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.

Full methodology ›

Walkability

100 intersections/sq mi

in the top 10.0% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST41st
US90th
Definition & source ›

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

From the data that is available, the profile takes shape carefully: park land sits in the top 0.6% nationally, and modeled energy burden lies in the bottom 0.5% nationally. Walkability rests in the top 10.0% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss resides in the bottom 11.0% nationally. Modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 18% nationally, and distance to an emergency room lands in the bottom 24% nationally. On the other side, floodplain exposure stands in the top 3.3% nationally, outer-floodplain exposure registers in the top 3.4% nationally, and modeled tree cover settles at the national minimum. Distance to a Superfund site sits in the bottom 10.0% nationally.

Next to the surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake.

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 2.74 years of 82.7, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
