continue reading

Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 1.6% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lies at the national minimum. Home broadband subscription is at the national maximum, and modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 4.5% nationally. Modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 6.4% nationally. Working the other way, slow internet speeds is in the top 3.6% nationally, floodplain exposure registers in the top 3.8% nationally, and distance to a community health center lies in the top 4.6% nationally. Walkability is in the bottom 5.8% nationally, and crowded housing registers in the top 7.2% nationally.

Set beside the wider area around it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 58238, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

“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 3.61 years of 85.3, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
