PFAS in drinking water
100%

Lower is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of residents served by public water systems where PFAS — man-made “forever chemicals” that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down — were detected in EPA testing.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

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 ›Outer-floodplain exposure

Lower is healthier
ST94thUS87thDefinition & 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 ›Energy-cost burden
2.3%
in the bottom 19% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST8thUS19thDefinition & 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 ›Colon-cancer screening

The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.

Full methodology ›The read
On what the available sources can show, Petersburg, Kentucky (ZIP 41080) lands in the top 29% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,420th) and the top 5.4% of Kentucky (40th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of the available measures point to this much: housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 5.2% nationally, and homeownership stands in the top 7.7% nationally. Households without a vehicle lies at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Poverty lands in the bottom 9.2% nationally, household income sits in the top 9.4% nationally, and modeled tree cover is in the top 12.8% nationally. On the other hand, PFAS in drinking water settles at the national maximum, modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 7.4% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure registers in the top 13.0% nationally. Modeled pfas rests in the top 14.0% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, industrial-pollution burden runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. Close by, ZIP 41091, about 3.1 miles away, ranks healthier overall.

How these were chosen: only ZIPs with a published Score appear — a nearby ZIP with too little data to score won’t. Nearby means closest by distance between ZIP boundaries, which can cross state lines. A similar health profile is a close match across the nine Score domains, not similar demographics. Distances are measured between ZIP boundaries — ZIPs that touch share a border. How distance is measured

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 0.96 years of 78.5, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

How these lists were built: they draw only from ZIPs that have a published Score, so ZIPs with too little data to score are not listed. Distance-based lists use distance between ZIP boundaries with no state filter, so an out-of-state ZIP can appear. Statistically similar means a close match across the nine Score domains, not a demographic match: the measure is the cosine similarity between two ZIPs’ domain scores, taken over the domains both ZIPs have data for and only where that overlap covers at least six of the nine — and where no ZIP clears that minimum-overlap floor, that list is left out rather than filled with a weak match.
