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.

Transportation noise

0.00%

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.

Full methodology ›

Nitrate in drinking water

12.1%

in the top 2.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST81st
US97th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams 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.

Loneliness

27.2%

in the bottom 3.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST5th

The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.

The share of the civilian labor force that is unemployed.

Distance to a Superfund site

69.9 mi

in the top 6.6% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST98th
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.

Full methodology ›

Dry extreme heat

62.8 days/year

in the top 6.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US93rd
Definition & source ›

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

Full methodology ›

Walkability

1.9 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 7.1% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST6th
US7th
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Full methodology ›

Lead in tap water

6.3 ppb

in the top 7.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

US93rd
Definition & source ›

The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.

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.

Distance to a community health center

21.6 mi

in the top 7.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST77th
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.

This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: modeled transportation noise rests at the national minimum, modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 6.6% nationally. Fiber broadband settles in the top 8.0% nationally. Set against that, modeled nitrate is in the top 2.9% nationally, and unemployment sits in the top 5.3% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands in the top 6.9% nationally, and walkability lies in the bottom 7.1% nationally. Lead in tap water stands in the top 7.2% nationally, and distance to a community health center rests in the top 7.3% nationally.

Defined simply, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. ZIP 67834, about 36 miles away, comes out 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 1.62 years of 76.6, 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.
