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.

Mental-health provider access

0.24 per 1,000 residents

in the top 3.1% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST97th
US97th
Definition & source ›

The number of mental-health clinics 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.

Unemployment rate

16.3%

in the top 3.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST89th

Definition & source ›

The share of the civilian labor force that is unemployed.

Tree cover

84.7%

in the top 3.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST56th
US97th
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area covered by forest.

Full methodology ›

Outpatient-care access

0.71 per 1,000 residents

in the top 3.9% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST95th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The number of outpatient clinics 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 ›

Obesity

46.3%

in the top 2.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST87th
US97th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults with obesity, defined as a body-mass index of 30 or higher.

Full methodology ›

Lead in tap water

0 ppb

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

US1st
Definition & source ›

The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.

Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›

Grocery access

0.24 per 1,000 residents

in the top 5.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST92nd
US95th
Definition & source ›

The number of full supermarkets 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. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

Full methodology ›

Short sleep

The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.

The read

In overall standing, ZIP 25053, one of several in Danville, West Virginia comes out in the bottom 10.1% nationally (28,832nd) and the top 39% of West Virginia (271st).

continue reading

The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: mental-health providers is in the top 3.1% nationally, modeled tree cover resides in the top 3.2% nationally, and outpatient rests in the top 3.9% nationally. Lead in tap water lies at the national minimum, and grocery sits in the top 5.4% nationally. By contrast, unemployment settles in the top 3.1% nationally, and modeled obesity registers in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled short sleep stands in the top 7.2% nationally, and high blood pressure lands in the top 7.9% nationally. Slow internet speeds is in the top 8.5% nationally.

In plain terms, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 25081, just across the boundary.

“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

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
