Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Transportation noise
0.00%
at the national minimum
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.
Full methodology ›Natural-disaster risk
in the bottom 2.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS3rdDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.
Full methodology ›Tree cover
86.2%
in the top 2.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST96thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area covered by forest.
Full methodology ›Walkability
1.6 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 5.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST1stUS5thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Arsenic in groundwater
1.3%
in the bottom 8.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST15thUS8thDefinition & 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 ›Expected annual disaster loss
$0
in the bottom 9.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST3rdUS9thDefinition & source ›
FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.
Full methodology ›Distance to a nursing home
7.4 mi
in the top 19% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST91stUS81stDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Medicare- or Medicaid-certified nursing home.

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 ›The read
From what the available data documents, for Allred, Tennessee (ZIP 38542), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
On the partial data in hand, the profile shows what it can: fiber broadband sits at the national maximum, modeled transportation noise settles at the national minimum, and modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 2.6% nationally. Modeled tree cover stands in the top 2.6% nationally, arsenic lands in the bottom 8.0% nationally, and expected annual loss is in the bottom 9.5% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 15% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure lies at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Set against that, walkability sits in the bottom 5.2% nationally.
In plain terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards.

|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 73.0 yr ± 1.65 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 75.1 yr (72.6–78.1) n=587 |
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 1.65 years of 73.0, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
