Lower is healthier
ST7thUS11thDefinition & 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 ›Distance to a Superfund site
53.9 mi
in the top 10.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST94thUS89thDefinition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›The read
From the partial coverage available here, for Delta City, Mississippi (ZIP 39061), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
The available readings suggest a handful of things about this area: modeled transportation noise settles at the national minimum, and expected annual loss rests in the bottom 6.2% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 10.0% nationally, and modeled disaster risk settles in the bottom 10.6% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 10.7% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled tree cover settles at the national minimum, distance to a nursing home rests in the top 7.0% nationally, and modeled humid heat lands in the top 9.5% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
For clarity, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake.

|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 76.0 yr ± 1.51 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 75.4 yr (72.7–79.0) n=405 |
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 1.51 years of 76.0, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
