The measures that set this area apart are worth putting up front: modeled loneliness resides in the bottom 8.4% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Poverty rests in the bottom 18% nationally, modeled food insecurity stands in the bottom 18% nationally, and modeled energy burden lies in the bottom 20% nationally. Set against that, modeled expected annual loss lands in the top 12.1% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Lithium in drinking water is in the top 19% nationally, modeled extreme heat settles in the top 19% nationally, and floodplain exposure resides in the top 20% nationally.

A note on the terms: expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 64034, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 0.64 years of 77.9, 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.
