What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Distance to a Superfund site

267.2 mi

in the top 0.6% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST88th
US99th
Definition & source ›

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.

Full methodology ›

Binge drinking

21.8%

in the top 2.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST87th
US98th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who report binge drinking — five or more drinks on one occasion for men, four or more for women.

Full methodology ›

Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance

2.2%

in the top 4.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST68th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.

Full methodology ›

Recreation access

1.3 per 1,000 residents

in the top 4.7% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST85th
US95th
Definition & source ›

The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›

Fiber broadband

98.7%

in the top 5.5% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST66th
US95th
Definition & source ›

The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.

Full methodology ›

Humid extreme heat

8.5 days/year

in the bottom 5.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST8th
US6th
Definition & source ›

The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.

Full methodology ›

Child-care access

0.66 per 1,000 residents

in the top 5.8% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST70th
US94th
Definition & source ›

The number of child day-care services inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

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.

The share of homes whose fastest available download speed is under 10 Mbps.

The read

Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 0.6% nationally, and recreation lands in the top 4.7% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lies at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Fiber broadband stands in the top 5.5% nationally, and modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Childcare registers in the top 5.8% nationally. On the other side, modeled binge drinking resides in the top 2.0% nationally, and fine-particle settles in the top 4.3% nationally. Modeled radon is in the top 9.4% nationally, and slow internet speeds sits in the top 8.6% nationally.

Defined simply, 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. ZIP 58734, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 1.04 years of 79.5, 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.
