A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

The read

From the partial coverage available here, for Murdock, Illinois (ZIP 61941), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.

continue reading

The readings that are available are worth naming, coverage aside: housing-cost burden rests at the national minimum, and homeownership lands at the national maximum. Floodplain exposure settles at the national minimum, and modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 6.5% nationally. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. On the other hand, home broadband subscription settles at the national minimum, distance to an emergency room rests in the top 4.5% nationally, and modeled arsenic lands in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled tree cover settles at the national minimum, and distance to a community health center rests in the top 7.8% nationally.

Set beside the wider area around it, home broadband subscription runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain".

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 1.61 years of 76.6, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
