continue reading

On the ground here, a handful of readings tell most of the story: modeled binge drinking lands in the top 0.07% nationally, and poverty settles at the national maximum. Homeownership rests at the national minimum, and slow internet speeds lands in the top 0.6% nationally. Distance to an emergency room settles in the top 1.6% nationally, and modeled loneliness rests in the top 1.8% nationally. More positively, civic lands in the top 1.5% nationally, modeled mammography settles in the top 0.7% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 1.8% nationally. Housing-cost burden lands at the national minimum.

Against its neighbors, poverty runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 58481, about 6.0 miles away.

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 1.11 years of 77.7, 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.
