The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 11.2% nationally, and modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 11.6% nationally. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic settles in the bottom 14.9% nationally. Pulling the other way, fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled cognitive disability lies in the top 10.3% nationally, distance to a Superfund site rests in the bottom 11.8% nationally, and home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 13.9% nationally. Modeled hearing disability is in the top 13.5% nationally, and short sleep lands in the top 14.4% nationally.

Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 63622, just across the boundary.

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 1.12 years of 76.1, 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.
