Walkability
0.86 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 2.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST1stUS2ndDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Humid extreme heat
148 days/year
in the top 5.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.
Full methodology ›Floodplain exposure
38.4%
in the top 6.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS93rdDefinition & 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 ›Distance to a nursing home
10 mi
in the top 11.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS89thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Medicare- or Medicaid-certified nursing home.
Full methodology ›Dry extreme heat
17.4 days/year
in the top 25% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS75thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.

The read
With only some of the sources reporting, for Perdue Hill, Alabama (ZIP 36470), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
Reading what data there is, a few things can be said: modeled pfas lies in the bottom 12.2% nationally, and arsenic stands in the bottom 16% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure rests at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover registers in the top 23% nationally. Working the other way, walkability resides in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and modeled humid heat settles in the top 5.3% nationally. Floodplain exposure is in the top 6.8% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home lands in the top 11.2% nationally, and modeled energy burden lies in the top 11.4% nationally.
Put simply, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors.

Life expectancyNCHS / RWJF USALEEP · model-based
| Measure | Value | US median (p10–p90) | AL median (p10–p90) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 74.6 yr ± 1.20 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 74.7 yr (72.1–78.3) n=599 |
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 1.20 years of 74.6, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
