What defines this ZIP

Tree cover

0.00%

at the national minimum

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area covered by forest.

Floodplain exposure

45.3%

Lower is healthier

ST71st
US95th
Definition & 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.

Full methodology ›

Walkability

120 intersections/sq mi

in the top 7.6% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST91st
US92nd
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Full methodology ›

Industrial-pollution burden

in the top 8.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST94th
US92nd
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

Full methodology ›

Mental-health provider access

0.12 per 1,000 residents

in the top 8.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST88th
US92nd
Definition & source ›

The number of mental-health clinics located 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.

Full methodology ›

Energy-cost burden

1.6%

in the bottom 5.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST14th
US6th
Definition & 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 ›

Fair or poor health

The measures that set this area apart are worth putting up front: walkability stands in the top 7.6% nationally, and mental-health providers lies in the top 8.4% nationally. Modeled energy burden lands in the bottom 5.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled fair or poor health is in the bottom 7.3% nationally, modeled independent living disability settles in the bottom 6.8% nationally, and outpatient resides in the top 10.0% nationally. Set against that, modeled tree cover registers at the national minimum, floodplain exposure rests in the top 5.0% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 8.1% nationally.

Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 33715, about 5.0 miles away, ranks better overall.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

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 0.79 years of 79.4, 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.
