What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Loneliness

27.9%

in the bottom 6.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST12th
US7th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.

Full methodology ›

Binge drinking

19.9%

in the top 6.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST75th
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who report binge drinking — five or more drinks on one occasion for men, four or more for women.

Full methodology ›

Elder-services access

0.18 per 1,000 residents

in the top 7.9% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST92nd
US92nd
Definition & source ›

The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›

Grocery access

0.18 per 1,000 residents

in the top 8.5% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST90th
US92nd
Definition & source ›

The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

Full methodology ›

Mammography

80.4%

in the top 9.1% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST71st
US91st
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.

Full methodology ›

Floodplain exposure

22.5%

in the top 15% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST91st
US85th
Definition & 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.

Full methodology ›

Homeownership rate

60.2%

in the bottom 16% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST9th

Definition & source ›

The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.

What works most in this area's favor shows up clearly across the measures: modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 6.8% nationally, elder services resides in the top 7.9% nationally, and grocery lies in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled mammography settles in the top 9.1% nationally, utility shutoff stands in the bottom 13.5% nationally, and humid heat is in the bottom 13.7% nationally. Modeled short sleep rests in the bottom 16% nationally. Working the other way, modeled binge drinking sits in the top 6.6% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden registers in the top 11.8% nationally. Floodplain exposure lands in the top 15% nationally.

In plain language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 53012, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

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 1.14 years of 80.0, 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.
