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.

Distance to a Superfund site

166.3 mi

in the top 1.5% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST93rd
US99th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.

Full methodology ›

Radon

3.5 pCi/L

in the top 5.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST51st
US95th
Definition & source ›

The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.

Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

Median household income

$139,500

in the top 5.3% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST98th
US95th
Definition & source ›

The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.

Walkability

1.7 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 5.6% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST49th

in the bottom 9.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST18th

Housing-cost burden

9.8%

in the bottom 9.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST21st

The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.

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 measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 1.5% nationally, and household income stands in the top 5.3% nationally. Households without a vehicle registers at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Poverty settles in the bottom 8.8% nationally, modeled transportation noise sits in the bottom 9.2% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 9.3% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled radon rests in the top 5.0% nationally, walkability resides in the bottom 5.6% nationally, and slow internet speeds is in the top 8.3% nationally. Modeled fine-particle lands in the top 9.3% nationally.

For readers new to these terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 57401, 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 1.24 years of 81.3, 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.
