Walkability

0.49 intersections/sq mi

Higher is healthier

ST10th
US1st
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility

38.5 mi

in the top 1.3% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.

Elder-services access

0.73 per 1,000 residents

in the top 1.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST93rd
US99th
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.

in the top 1.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST98th
US98th
Definition & source ›

The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.

A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 1.3% nationally, and elder services resides in the top 1.4% nationally. Pharmacy stands in the top 2.2% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk sits in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 2.7% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. By contrast, walkability sits in the bottom 1.1% nationally, fatal road crashes resides in the top 1.7% nationally, and distance to a community health center stands in the top 3.2% nationally. Slow internet speeds sits in the top 6.4% nationally.

For clarity, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 57552, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.37 years of 82.8, 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.
