continue reading

A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 3.4% nationally, and expected annual loss lies in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Homeownership is in the top 5.7% nationally. Unemployment registers at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure lies in the bottom 7.4% nationally. On the other side, housing-cost burden is in the top 0.9% nationally, poverty registers in the top 4.3% nationally, and distance to an emergency room lies in the top 5.3% nationally. Fiber broadband is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled fine-particle registers in the top 10.5% nationally.

Against its neighbors, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 66740, about 32 miles away.

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 1.83 years of 81.8, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
