Definition & source ›

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.

US8th
Definition & 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.

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.

The read

Working only from the data in hand, for Vining, Iowa (ZIP 52348), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.

continue reading

On the limited coverage here, the data still marks out some readings: modeled expected annual loss lands in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and transportation noise registers at the national minimum. Home broadband subscription sits at the national maximum, and modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 4.7% nationally. Homeownership is in the top 7.2% nationally, and modeled pfas stands in the bottom 7.7% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled energy burden lies in the top 2.1% nationally, and distance to an emergency room resides in the top 5.2% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.

Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, outer-floodplain exposure 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. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them.

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 1.46 years of 78.3, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
