Energy-cost burden

Lower is healthier
ST99thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

On the composite measure, Lehr, North Dakota (ZIP 58460) stands in the bottom 41% nationally (19,079th) and the bottom 8.7% of North Dakota (339th).
A number of readings press hard on the profile and set its tone: modeled energy burden is in the top 1.6% nationally, and distance to a community health center registers in the top 1.8% nationally. Slow internet speeds lies in the top 3.6% nationally, and modeled hearing disability is in the top 4.2% nationally. Walkability registers in the bottom 7.6% nationally, and modeled fine-particle lies in the top 7.7% nationally. On the brighter side, distance to a Superfund site is in the top 1.4% nationally, modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 6.7% nationally. Unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
For clarity, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. ZIP 58440, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.03 years of 79.8, 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.
