The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and fiber broadband lies in the top 6.2% nationally. Set against that, modeled cognitive disability lands in the top 3.9% nationally, and tooth loss sits in the top 8.3% nationally. Modeled independent living disability is in the top 8.8% nationally, colon screening settles in the bottom 8.1% nationally, and mobility disability resides in the top 12.5% nationally. Modeled hearing disability registers in the top 11.8% nationally, fair or poor health rests in the top 12.9% nationally, and energy burden stands in the top 11.5% nationally.

To spell things out, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Close by, ZIP 64874, just across the boundary, ranks healthier 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 1.27 years of 76.4, 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.
