The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: homeownership sits in the top 5.7% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 9.2% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure resides in the bottom 11.6% nationally, and modeled transportation noise is in the bottom 14.2% nationally. Crowded housing lands at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled mammography stands in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Fiber broadband registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic settles in the top 11.0% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.

For anyone unfamiliar, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume.

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 1.20 years of 79.4, 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.
