Nitrate in drinking water

Lower is healthier

ST89th
US98th
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.

The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.

Lower is healthier

ST97th
US95th
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.

ST93rd
US83rd

Where this area is stretched, the data is unambiguous: modeled nitrate settles in the top 1.8% nationally, colon screening stands in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and energy burden is in the top 4.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests in the top 9.7% nationally, distance to a nursing home sits in the top 11.6% nationally, and modeled uninsured registers in the top 9.4% nationally. Walkability lands in the bottom 13.9% nationally, and modeled tree cover resides in the bottom 14.2% nationally. Better still, unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Crowded housing settles at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs.

In plain language, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 67059, just across the boundary, ranks 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 1.63 years of 81.3, 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.
