Industrial-pollution burden
in the top 2.0% nationally

ST97thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

ST95thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The number of dental offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

In its overall standing, Manquin, Virginia (ZIP 23106) lands in the top 40% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,971st) and the top 42% of Virginia (364th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: dental providers stands in the top 6.2% nationally, homeownership rests in the top 7.5% nationally, and recreation registers in the top 8.1% nationally. Crowded housing resides at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise settles in the bottom 15% nationally, and expected annual loss is in the bottom 17% nationally. Modeled hearing disability sits in the bottom 18% nationally. On the other side, modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 2.0% nationally, and short sleep lies in the top 10.9% nationally. Home broadband subscription stands in the bottom 14.0% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. On the overall standing, ZIP 23009, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.35 years of 73.6, 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.
