Several readings make the pressure on this area plain: modeled tooth loss lies in the top 2.3% nationally, and poverty is in the top 0.7% nationally. Households without a vehicle registers in the top 0.8% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the top 2.1% nationally. Household income is in the bottom 0.2% nationally, modeled high cholesterol registers in the top 1.9% nationally, and modeled pfas lies in the top 4.4% nationally. Modeled energy burden is in the top 4.4% nationally, and high blood pressure registers in the top 5.2% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled tree cover lies in the top 1.8% nationally.

Against its neighbors, households without a vehicle runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 25547, just across the boundary.

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

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 2.45 years of 80.4, 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.
