Industrial-pollution burden

ST94thUS99thDefinition & source ›
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.

The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
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.

In its overall standing, Poseyville, Indiana (ZIP 47633) lands in the bottom 49% nationally (16,280th) and the top 35% of Indiana (264th).
Reading across the data, the real pressures come first: modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the top 1.2% nationally, and arsenic stands in the top 9.9% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Distance to an emergency room registers in the top 18% nationally. Recreation resides at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. More encouragingly, poverty settles in the bottom 13.1% nationally. Crowded housing is at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle sits in the bottom 16% nationally, and civic lands in the top 17% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure lies at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs.
Against the wider neighborhood, industrial-pollution burden runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 47612, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.26 years of 81.0, 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.
