Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and home broadband subscription sits in the top 5.8% nationally. Modeled arsenic rests in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and homeownership is in the top 7.3% nationally. Household income stands in the top 11.8% nationally. Against that, modeled cognitive disability settles in the top 6.0% nationally, and tooth loss lies in the top 9.7% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Slow internet speeds lands in the top 11.0% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the top 12.2% nationally.

In plainer terms, 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. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 64848, 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 1.15 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.
