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

Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Bancroft, West Virginia (ZIP 25011) ranks in the bottom 9.6% nationally (28,996th) and the top 42% of West Virginia (293rd).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: modeled expected annual loss registers in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and disaster risk sits in the bottom 7.9% nationally. On the other hand, modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 3.5% nationally, and short sleep is in the top 4.9% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure stands in the top 4.2% nationally, modeled tooth loss settles in the top 7.3% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol lies in the top 5.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides in the top 8.1% nationally, high blood pressure lands in the top 8.1% nationally, and pfas registers in the top 9.7% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 25168, just across the boundary.

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 1.49 years of 77.7, 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
