Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: homeownership lands in the top 5.2% nationally, modeled pfas lies in the bottom 6.4% nationally, and poverty stands in the bottom 7.7% nationally. Housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Households without a vehicle registers at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure resides in the bottom 9.1% nationally. Crowded housing settles at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled energy burden is in the top 5.1% nationally, and distance to a community health center sits in the top 8.6% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lands in the top 12.5% nationally.

Defined simply, 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. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 62324, 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 0.90 years of 78.4, 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.
