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.

Elder-services access

0.61 per 1,000 residents

in the top 1.8% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST99th
US98th
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.

PFAS in drinking water

7.0%

in the bottom 3.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US3rd
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.

Outpatient-care access

0.61 per 1,000 residents

in the top 5.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST98th
US95th
Definition & source ›

The number of outpatient clinics located 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.

Fiber broadband

94.1%

in the top 11.5% nationally

Higher is healthier

The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.

Slow internet speeds

ST94th
US85th
Definition & source ›

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

Full methodology ›

Energy-cost burden

4.7%

in the top 12.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST91st
US87th
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.

Home broadband subscription

The main burdens in the data show plainly and lead the picture: modeled radon stands in the top 14.3% nationally, slow internet speeds is in the top 15% nationally, and modeled energy burden rests in the top 12.7% nationally. Home broadband subscription sits in the bottom 16% nationally. More positively, elder services registers in the top 1.8% nationally, and modeled pfas lands in the bottom 3.3% nationally. Outpatient resides in the top 5.2% nationally. Distance to a community health center lies at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Fiber broadband settles in the top 11.5% nationally, and modeled transportation noise stands in the bottom 18% nationally.

Set against the neighboring ZIPs, elder services runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 53581, just across the boundary.

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 0.89 years of 82.4, 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.
