continue reading

The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 3.7% nationally, fiber broadband is in the top 4.8% nationally, and modeled binge drinking rests in the bottom 4.9% nationally. Working the other way, home broadband subscription sits in the bottom 1.8% nationally, modeled diabetes registers in the top 4.8% nationally, and modeled stroke lands in the top 4.7% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure resides in the top 4.4% nationally, and high cholesterol lies in the top 3.8% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease settles in the top 6.5% nationally, and mobility disability stands in the top 9.3% nationally.

In plain language, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. ZIP 29835, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

Findings that name this ZIP

One of our published findings lists this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.

  • Clean environment, heavy chronic burden

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 88.0; chronic-disease standing 6.5 (bottom 10%) — 82 points apart, cleaner on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

    Ranked #428 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.

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 1.01 years of 76.7, 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.
