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.

PFAS in drinking water

6.5%

in the bottom 2.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST7th
US3rd
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Lithium in drinking water

85 µg/L

in the top 4.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST97th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.

Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›

Housing-cost burden

46.8%

in the top 4.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST98th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The share of households spending 30% or more of their income on housing.

Full methodology ›

Homeownership rate

99.1%

in the top 5.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST94th
US95th
Definition & source ›

The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.

Full methodology ›

Outer-floodplain exposure

2.8%

in the top 11.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST95th
US88th
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.

Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

Full methodology ›

Median household income

$44,271

in the bottom 8.6% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST13th
US9th
Definition & source ›

The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.

Full methodology ›

Dry extreme heat

26.9 days/year

in the top 17% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST90th
US83rd
Definition & source ›

The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.

Full methodology ›

Housing insecurity

8.7%

in the bottom 25% nationally

The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled pfas settles in the bottom 2.7% nationally, and homeownership sits in the top 5.2% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 14.3% nationally. Pulling the other way, lithium in drinking water resides in the top 4.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden is in the top 4.4% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Outer-floodplain exposure stands in the top 11.6% nationally, floodplain exposure registers in the top 12.8% nationally, and slow internet speeds settles in the top 14.1% nationally.

Next to the surrounding area, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby.

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 2.70 years of 79.8, 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.
