Elder-services access
0.31 per 1,000 residents
in the top 4.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST95thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities 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.

Lower is healthier
ST7thUS10thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
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.
Full methodology ›High cholesterol
43.5%
in the top 8.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST26thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with high cholesterol, among those who have ever been screened for it.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden
2.3%
in the bottom 20% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST6thUS20thDefinition & 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 ›Uninsured (under 65)

The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.

In overall standing, Fairview, West Virginia (ZIP 26570) comes out in the bottom 33% nationally (21,641st) and the top 7.1% of West Virginia (49th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: elder services is in the top 4.4% nationally, modeled tree cover resides in the top 5.5% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Fatal road crashes sits in the bottom 10.5% nationally, and floodplain exposure settles in the bottom 19% nationally. By contrast, home broadband subscription registers in the bottom 8.7% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol stands in the top 8.6% nationally. Modeled short sleep lands in the top 14.4% nationally. Recreation is at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
In plain terms, extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 15362, 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 1.01 years of 77.8, 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.
