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.

Nitrate in drinking water

1.4%

in the top 6.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST64th
US94th
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.

Transportation noise

10.8%

in the top 7.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST95th
US93rd
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 ›

Outer-floodplain exposure

4.5%

in the top 7.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST93rd
US92nd
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 ›

Loud transportation noise

1.8%

in the top 9.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST95th
US91st
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 65 decibels — around the volume of normal conversation.

Full methodology ›

Dry extreme heat

50.5 days/year

in the top 9.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST84th
US91st
Definition & source ›

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

Full methodology ›

Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance

0.82%

in the top 10.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST95th
US90th
Definition & source ›

The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.

Full methodology ›

Grocery access

0.12 per 1,000 residents

in the top 16% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST92nd
US84th
Definition & source ›

The number of full supermarkets 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. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

The strongest marks in the data are worth naming first: elder services settles in the top 12.7% nationally. Distance to a nursing home rests at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled nitrate lands in the top 6.1% nationally, modeled transportation noise settles in the top 7.5% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure rests in the top 7.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lands in the top 9.0% nationally, extreme heat settles in the top 9.3% nationally, and fine-particle rests in the top 10.3% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 11.7% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.

Against its neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 67037, just across the boundary.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

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 0.83 years of 78.5, 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.
