Higher is healthier

ST92nd

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.

Loneliness

26.1%

in the bottom 1.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST10th

Radon

Definition & source ›

The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.

Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

in the bottom 4.8% nationally

The share of households spending 30% or more of their income on housing.

in the top 7.1% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST94th
US93rd

Lower is healthier

ST37th

in the top 6.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

Floodplain exposure

0.04%

Lower is healthier

ST26th
US7th
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.

Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 0.5% nationally, modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and housing-cost burden is in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Household income resides in the top 7.1% nationally, floodplain exposure rests in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Set against that, distance to a community health center sits in the top 3.1% nationally, and modeled radon settles in the top 5.5% nationally. Modeled fine-particle registers in the top 6.9% nationally, and binge drinking stands in the top 6.6% nationally.

Defined in plain terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 58703, about 30 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 2.28 years of 82.7, 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.
