What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Floodplain exposure

51.9%

in the top 3.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST78th
US96th
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 ›

Child-care access

0.7 per 1,000 residents

in the top 5.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST96th
US95th
Definition & source ›

The number of child day-care services 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 ›

Industrial-pollution burden

in the top 8.0% 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 ›

Housing-cost burden

41.3%

in the top 8.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST78th
US91st
Definition & source ›

The share of households spending 30% or more of their income on housing.

Full methodology ›

Walkability

110 intersections/sq mi

in the top 9.5% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST86th
US91st
Definition & source ›

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

Full methodology ›

Unemployment rate

9.6%

in the top 10.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST96th
US90th
Definition & source ›

The share of the civilian labor force that is unemployed.

Full methodology ›

Radon

0.8 pCi/L

in the bottom 5.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST18th
US6th
Definition & source ›

The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.

Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

This area's strengths are easy to pick out across the measures: childcare resides in the top 5.2% nationally, and walkability settles in the top 9.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center sits at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled radon lands in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Working the other way, floodplain exposure lies in the top 3.7% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 8.0% nationally. Housing-cost burden rests in the top 8.7% nationally, and unemployment registers in the top 10.4% nationally. PFAS in drinking water resides in the top 12.3% nationally.

Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. ZIP 33707, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 0.73 years of 75.2, 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. How distance is measured
