A number of measures place this area on solid footing: household income resides in the top 7.7% nationally, and modeled mammography registers in the top 5.8% nationally. Homeownership rests in the top 11.5% nationally, and modeled tooth loss stands in the bottom 10.6% nationally. Crowded housing lies at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation lands in the bottom 15% nationally, and food insecurity sits in the bottom 16% nationally. By contrast, modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the top 9.2% nationally, and distance to an emergency room settles in the top 11.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.

To spell things out, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Close by, ZIP 23039, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

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

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.
