continue reading

The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: housing-cost burden is at the national minimum, modeled colon screening resides in the top 0.8% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 2.4% nationally. Modeled short sleep lies in the bottom 1.9% nationally, disaster risk sits in the bottom 3.2% nationally, and housing insecurity settles in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 4.5% nationally. By contrast, modeled coronary heart disease stands in the top 4.3% nationally, and hearing disability lands in the top 4.8% nationally. Modeled tree cover is at the national minimum.

Held up against its neighbors, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain 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. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 56123, 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 1.23 years of 78.7, 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.
