Several of the measures in hand are worth setting out: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 2.4% nationally, and modeled tree cover rests in the top 6.9% nationally. Fiber broadband lands in the top 6.9% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 7.5% nationally. Modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 8.7% nationally. On the other side, households without a vehicle lands in the top 1.4% nationally, home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and poverty rests in the top 2.5% nationally. Modeled energy burden lands in the top 3.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden settles in the top 7.2% nationally.

Against its neighbors, households without a vehicle runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake.

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 1.24 years of 73.5, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
