The measures that are covered come first, caveats noted: walkability is in the top 0.4% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss stands in the bottom 1.2% nationally. Modeled disaster risk settles in the bottom 1.8% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies at the national minimum. Poverty resides at the national minimum, homeownership lands at the national maximum, and home broadband subscription registers at the national maximum. Floodplain exposure sits at the national minimum. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled tree cover is at the national minimum.

Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, 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. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-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 2.64 years of 81.2, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
