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.

PFAS in drinking water

79.2%

in the top 2.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US98th
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

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.

Pharmacy access

0.42 per 1,000 residents

in the top 7.3% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST95th
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The number of pharmacies 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 ›

Distance to an emergency room

16.8 mi

in the top 8.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST91st
US92nd
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Medicare-certified hospital with an emergency room.

Full methodology ›

Distance to a Superfund site

55.9 mi

in the top 9.9% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST99th
US90th
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 ›

Elder-services access

0.14 per 1,000 residents

in the top 10.7% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST94th
US89th
Definition & source ›

The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities 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

4.5%

in the top 16% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST93rd
US84th
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 ›

Uninsured (under 65)

12.6%

in the top 20% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST93rd
US80th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.

continue reading

Several serious readings shape the profile and deserve first mention: modeled pfas is in the top 2.1% nationally, distance to an emergency room sits in the top 8.5% nationally, and modeled independent living disability lands in the top 11.9% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability lies in the top 15% nationally, and mobility disability stands in the top 16% nationally. On the better side, pharmacy rests in the top 7.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 9.9% nationally. Elder services resides in the top 10.7% nationally, and modeled arsenic settles in the bottom 12.6% nationally. Modeled binge drinking is in the bottom 12.2% nationally.

Measured against the nearby ZIPs, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. ZIP 24112, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

What’s driving this score

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 1.04 years of 76.5, 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.
