ST99thUS98thDefinition & 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.

The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
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.

Full methodology ›The read
From the partial coverage available here, Stopover, Kentucky (ZIP 41568) lands in the bottom 0.10% nationally (32,034th) and the bottom 2.3% of Kentucky (725th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The available readings suggest a handful of things about this area: homeownership registers at the national maximum, and modeled tree cover lies in the top 2.9% nationally. Lead in tap water is at the national minimum, and housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 5.2% nationally. By contrast, modeled tooth loss lies in the top 1.3% nationally, short sleep is in the top 1.3% nationally, and energy burden registers in the top 1.8% nationally. Modeled colon screening lies in the bottom 3.4% nationally, walkability is in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and household income registers in the bottom 1.5% nationally.
For clarity, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. ZIP 24620, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.
What’s driving this score

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 1.44 years of 69.3, 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.
