Several readings make the pressure on this area plain: modeled hearing disability sits in the top 1.1% nationally, and obesity resides in the top 0.8% nationally. Modeled diabetes stands in the top 2.7% nationally, and stroke sits in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled vision disability resides in the top 5.5% nationally, and coronary heart disease stands in the top 3.9% nationally. On the encouraging side, distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 0.6% nationally, modeled transportation noise resides at the national minimum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Fiber broadband sits in the top 5.0% nationally.

For clarity, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 58367, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

Findings that name this ZIP

One of our published findings lists this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.

  • Clean environment, heavy chronic burden

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 90.1 (top 10%); chronic-disease standing 3.3 (bottom 10%) — 87 points apart, cleaner on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

    Ranked #211 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.

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 1.80 years of 76.5, 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.
