Arsenic in groundwater

ST88thUS97thDefinition & source ›
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.

Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Burnettsville, Indiana (ZIP 47926) stands in the bottom 40% nationally (19,341st) and the bottom 46% of Indiana (410th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 9.4% nationally, and housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 11.9% nationally. Homeownership sits in the top 13.6% nationally, and unemployment resides in the bottom 15.0% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure stands at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled arsenic sits in the top 3.0% nationally, modeled obesity resides in the top 5.8% nationally, and crowded housing stands in the top 9.8% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Recreation resides at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
For clarity, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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. ZIP 47950, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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

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.
