PFAS in drinking water
60.3%
in the top 7.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS92ndDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›Subsidized affordable housing
305 units
in the top 8.0% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of affordable rental units in this ZIP supported by the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program.
Full methodology ›Radon
2.8 pCi/L
in the top 14.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST96thUS85thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Arsenic in groundwater
1.5%
in the bottom 13.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST4thUS14thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
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.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden
2.1%
in the bottom 15% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST3rdUS15thDefinition & 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 ›Mammography
79.2%

The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.

Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Bunker Hill, West Virginia (ZIP 25413) ranks in the bottom 44% nationally (18,047th) and the top 2.8% of West Virginia (19th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 8.0% nationally, and modeled arsenic registers in the bottom 13.6% nationally. Modeled energy burden sits in the bottom 15% nationally, and mammography rests in the top 16% nationally. On the other hand, modeled pfas is in the top 7.8% nationally, modeled radon stands in the top 14.9% nationally, and crowded housing settles in the top 18% nationally. Recreation lies at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise resides in the top 18% nationally. Physicians lands at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs.
In plainer terms, 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 22611, 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 2.11 years of 81.1, 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
