Floodplain exposure
69.7%
in the top 1.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS98thDefinition & 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.

A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

The read
By the composite measure, Ceredo, West Virginia (ZIP 25507) sits in the bottom 2.1% nationally (31,402nd) and the bottom 14.5% of West Virginia (596th).
The main burdens in the data show plainly and lead the picture: floodplain exposure resides in the top 1.7% nationally, modeled independent living disability lies in the top 4.1% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease settles in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled mobility disability stands in the top 3.8% nationally, high blood pressure is in the top 3.4% nationally, and diabetes rests in the top 4.6% nationally. Modeled short sleep sits in the top 4.4% nationally, and fair or poor health registers in the top 6.1% nationally. More positively, fatal road crashes lands at the national minimum, and modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 4.7% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 25530, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.70 years of 75.7, 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
