Home broadband subscription

The share of households with a broadband internet subscription.

ST99thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.
Full methodology ›Crowded housing
10.9%

Lower is healthier
ST98thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The share of occupied homes with more than one person per room, the Census definition of crowded housing.

in the top 5.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS94thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Civic-institution access
0.82 per 1,000 residents

Higher is healthier
ST94thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The number of civic and social organizations 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 ›Arsenic in groundwater

Lower is healthier
ST23rdUS7thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
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.

Full methodology ›The read
Grovespring, Missouri (ZIP 65662), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 18% nationally (26,168th) and the bottom 35% of Missouri (643rd).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 2.7% nationally, and civic lands in the top 5.9% nationally. Modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 7.5% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 13.0% nationally. Pulling the other way, home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 2.0% nationally, crowded housing sits in the top 4.0% nationally, and fatal road crashes lies in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled hearing disability rests in the top 8.0% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Unemployment is in the top 11.9% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby.

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 1.13 years of 77.7, 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.
