A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Where the load on this area runs deepest, the data leads: modeled arsenic lands in the top 5.7% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise is in the top 15.0% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Unemployment resides in the top 17% nationally. More encouragingly, modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 1.6% nationally, modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 1.8% nationally, and walkability stands in the top 4.3% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Crowded housing lands at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs.

Set beside the nearby areas, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 46155, about 3.9 miles away, ranks better overall.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.99 years of 79.7, 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.
