continue reading

The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: modeled high cholesterol lands in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 4.6% nationally. Distance to an emergency room registers at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled coronary heart disease settles in the bottom 4.6% nationally, and arsenic sits in the bottom 7.2% nationally. On the other side, modeled loneliness lies in the top 3.0% nationally, slow internet speeds rests in the top 3.4% nationally, and homeownership resides in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Poverty is in the top 7.4% nationally, and modeled transportation lands in the top 7.4% nationally.

Next to the surrounding area, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports.

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

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
