Floodplain exposure
85.3%
in the top 0.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

The share of homes whose fastest available download speed is under 10 Mbps.

14.7%
in the top 4.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS96thDefinition & source ›

The share of residents whose income is below the federal poverty line, from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.
Full methodology ›Walkability
130 intersections/sq mi
in the top 6.5% nationally
Higher is healthier

Lower is healthier
ST95thUS89thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

ST97thUS79thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
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
With only some of the sources reporting, for Bevington, Iowa (ZIP 50033), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
This area's available measures are set out plainly: modeled expected annual loss stands in the bottom 2.3% nationally, modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and walkability registers in the top 6.5% nationally. Unemployment resides at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise is at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Against that, floodplain exposure sits in the top 0.9% nationally, and slow internet speeds lands in the top 2.5% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lies in the top 4.5% nationally, and poverty stands in the top 5.1% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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 1.33 years of 81.9, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
