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
ST97thUS97thDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›Unemployment rate
16.3%
in the top 3.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST89thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The share of the civilian labor force that is unemployed.

Higher is healthier
ST56thUS97thDefinition & 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
ST95thUS96thDefinition & 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
ST87thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with obesity, defined as a body-mass index of 30 or higher.
Full methodology ›Lead in tap water

at the national minimum
Lower is healthier
US1stDefinition & 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
ST92ndUS95thDefinition & 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
42.7%
in the top 7.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST53rdUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.

Lower is healthier
ST48thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who have been told by a health professional that they have high blood pressure.

The share of homes whose fastest available download speed is under 10 Mbps.
Full methodology ›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).
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.

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

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
