Higher is healthier
ST96thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The number of dental offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden

in the bottom 1.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST4thUS2ndDefinition & 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 ›The read
Overall, Burke, Virginia (ZIP 22015) lands in the top 2.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (616th) and the top 4.4% of Virginia (38th).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: household income settles in the top 2.1% nationally, and modeled obesity resides in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Dental providers registers in the top 4.8% nationally, and modeled energy burden rests in the bottom 1.8% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff stands in the bottom 5.7% nationally, transportation lies in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and independent living disability lands in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Fiber broadband sits in the top 7.0% nationally. On the other side, PFOA in drinking water is in the top 6.1% nationally, and PFOS in drinking water settles in the top 6.4% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 22032, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

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 0.83 years of 83.4, 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. How distance is measured
