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.

Radon

3.5 pCi/L

in the top 5.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST82nd
US95th
Definition & source ›

The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.

Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

Full methodology ›

Housing-cost burden

5.9%

in the bottom 5.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST8th
US6th
Definition & source ›

The share of households spending 30% or more of their income on housing.

Full methodology ›

PFAS in drinking water

58.2%

in the top 8.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST98th
US91st
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

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.

Full methodology ›

Fiber broadband

96.5%

in the top 8.8% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST78th
US91st
Definition & source ›

The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.

Full methodology ›

Dry extreme heat

51 days/year

in the top 9.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST86th
US91st
Definition & source ›

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

Full methodology ›

Homeownership rate

94.1%

in the top 9.9% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST89th
US90th
Definition & source ›

The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.

Full methodology ›

Energy-cost burden

4.9%

in the top 10.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST92nd
US89th
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.

Full methodology ›

Median household income

$49,716

in the bottom 13.9% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST10th
US14th
Definition & source ›

The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.

Full methodology ›

Air-toxics cancer risk

20 per million

in the bottom 25% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US25th
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.

The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 5.6% nationally, fiber broadband lies in the top 8.8% nationally, and homeownership sits in the top 9.9% nationally. Modeled loneliness settles in the bottom 10.3% nationally. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Set against that, modeled radon stands in the top 5.0% nationally, and pfas lands in the top 8.7% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is in the top 9.1% nationally, and hearing disability resides in the top 12.7% nationally. Modeled energy burden rests in the top 10.9% nationally.

In plain terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 67564, 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 1.94 years of 80.9, 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.
