Arsenic in groundwater

Lower is healthier
ST17thUS2ndDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

In overall standing, Hazel Green, Alabama (ZIP 35750) comes out in the top 41% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,261st) and the top 13.1% of Alabama (81st).
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: modeled arsenic is in the bottom 1.7% nationally, elder services resides in the top 20% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 22% nationally. Set against that, PFOS in drinking water lies in the top 14.6% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 15% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss settles in the top 16% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers in the top 17% nationally, and modeled pfas stands in the top 18% nationally. Modeled loneliness lands in the top 19% nationally, and humid heat is in the top 22% nationally.
In plain terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 35759, 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

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.
