in the bottom 1.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.

Natural-disaster risk

in the bottom 1.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US2nd
Definition & source ›

This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.

Transportation noise

0.00%

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.

Floodplain exposure

0.00%

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
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.

So far as the data reaches, a few readings can be drawn: modeled expected annual loss resides in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and disaster risk is in the bottom 1.8% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lands at the national minimum, and floodplain exposure stands at the national minimum. Walkability registers in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise settles at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled tree cover sits at the national minimum. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center rests in the top 11.5% nationally, and distance to an emergency room resides in the top 18% nationally.

For readers new to these terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels.

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 1.29 years of 76.3, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
