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.

Fiber broadband

99.7%

in the top 2.9% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST99th

Definition & source ›

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

Mammography

66.2%

Higher is healthier

ST2nd

Energy-cost burden

5.2%

in the top 7.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST96th
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Colon-cancer screening

58.2%

in the bottom 9.7% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST8th

The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.

Higher is healthier

ST91st
US89th
Definition & source ›

The number of pharmacies located 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 ›

Industrial-pollution burden

Lower is healthier

ST5th
US12th
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: fiber broadband registers in the top 2.9% nationally, and pharmacy lies in the top 11.2% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 11.9% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 14.9% nationally. By contrast, modeled mammography lies in the bottom 4.2% nationally, energy burden is in the top 7.0% nationally, and colon screening registers in the bottom 9.7% nationally. Crowded housing lies in the top 12.4% nationally, poverty is in the top 12.9% nationally, and modeled obesity registers in the top 11.7% nationally.

For clarity, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. ZIP 62424, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

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 1.40 years of 77.2, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
