The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 0.5% nationally, and floodplain exposure settles at the national minimum. Modeled loneliness sits in the bottom 3.4% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 5.8% nationally. Modeled transportation noise rests in the bottom 8.2% nationally. Pulling the other way, distance to a nursing home resides in the top 2.9% nationally, distance to an emergency room is in the top 4.1% nationally, and modeled fine-particle lands in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled pfas stands in the top 6.5% nationally, and distance to a community health center registers in the top 6.9% nationally.

For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them.

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 3.22 years of 84.7, 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.
