What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Walkability

0 intersections/sq mi

at the national minimum

Higher is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Full methodology ›

Outer-floodplain exposure

87.6%

in the top 0.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.

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 ›

Natural-disaster risk

in the bottom 1.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & 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 ›

Expected annual disaster loss

$0

in the bottom 1.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & 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 ›

Tree cover

0.00%

at the national minimum

Higher is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area covered by forest.

Full methodology ›

Humid extreme heat

139.1 days/year

in the top 7.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST81st
US92nd
Definition & 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 ›

Energy-cost burden

1.5%

in the bottom 4.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US4th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Full methodology ›

Distance to a Superfund site

2.8 mi

in the bottom 13.8% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST7th
US14th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.

So far as the data reaches, a few readings can be drawn: modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 1.4% nationally, and energy burden rests in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides in the bottom 20% nationally. By contrast, walkability is at the national minimum, outer-floodplain exposure lands in the top 0.4% nationally, and modeled tree cover stands at the national minimum. Modeled humid heat registers in the top 7.6% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site settles in the bottom 13.8% nationally. Park land sits at the national minimum, shared with about 48% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat lies in the top 26% nationally.

Next to the surrounding area, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain".

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 0.97 years of 74.0, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
