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.

ST6thUS23rdDefinition & 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 ›The read
With coverage still partial across the sources, for Mc Williams, Alabama (ZIP 36753), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
This area's available measures are set out plainly: modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 2.2% nationally, modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 3.1% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 3.2% nationally. Modeled tree cover settles in the top 3.4% nationally, modeled arsenic is in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 9.9% nationally. Against that, distance to a nursing home lands in the top 5.1% nationally, and modeled humid heat lies in the top 7.4% nationally. Fiber broadband stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to an emergency room rests in the top 10.9% nationally.
Defined simply, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.

|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 73.7 yr ± 2.29 | 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 2.29 years of 73.7, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
