Natural-disaster risk
in the bottom 0.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.
Full methodology ›Expected annual disaster loss
$0
in the bottom 2.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST2ndUS2ndDefinition & source ›
FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.
Full methodology ›Transportation noise
0.00%
at the national minimum
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden
5.3%
in the top 6.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST85thUS94thDefinition & 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
0.49%
in the bottom 9.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST7thUS10thDefinition & 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 ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the bottom 10.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST7thUS10thDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›Air-toxics cancer risk
20 per million
in the bottom 25% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS25thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.
Full methodology ›Tree cover
40.4%
in the top 29% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST8thUS71stDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area covered by forest.
Full methodology ›The read
From what the available data documents, for Nemours, West Virginia (ZIP 24738), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
On the partial data in hand, the profile shows what it can: modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 0.4% nationally, expected annual loss rests in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and transportation noise lies at the national minimum. Floodplain exposure sits in the bottom 9.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 10.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise stands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Outer-floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Set against that, modeled energy burden is in the top 6.3% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
In plain terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby.

|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 73.4 yr ± 1.08 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 76.2 yr (73.1–81.1) n=686 |
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 1.08 years of 73.4, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
