Lower is healthier

ST99th
US97th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Lower is healthier

ST92nd
US91st
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.

The read

Given the gaps in coverage here, for Waldron, Kansas (ZIP 67150), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.

continue reading

The profile opens on partial but real readings: fiber broadband rests at the national maximum, modeled transportation noise lies at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription sits at the national maximum. Unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle registers at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Against that, poverty stands in the top 0.5% nationally, and housing-cost burden lands in the top 0.6% nationally. Modeled nitrate is in the top 2.4% nationally, and energy burden resides in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests in the top 6.9% nationally.

Held up against its neighbors, poverty runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills.

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 1.47 years of 76.2, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
