Arsenic in groundwater

ST11thUS1stDefinition & 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.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Pike Road, Alabama (ZIP 36064) ranks in the top 10.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,297th) and the top 2.0% of Alabama (12th).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled arsenic resides in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and mammography registers in the top 3.3% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease rests in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and lead in tap water stands in the bottom 10.4% nationally. Household income lies in the top 9.7% nationally, and modeled hearing disability lands in the bottom 10.0% nationally. Set against that, modeled humid heat sits in the top 6.6% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the top 7.2% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure settles in the top 7.7% nationally. Floodplain exposure resides in the top 10.6% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. This ZIP stands out as the strongest overall among its immediate neighbors.

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 1.36 years of 79.3, 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
