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

3.7 pCi/L

in the top 3.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST91st
US97th
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.

Hearing disability

12.0%

in the top 4.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST96th

Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who are deaf or have serious difficulty hearing.

Fiber broadband

The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.

Full methodology ›

PFAS in drinking water

58.7%

in the top 8.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST98th
US92nd
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 ›

Dry extreme heat

52 days/year

in the top 8.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST91st
US91st
Definition & source ›

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

in the top 8.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST93rd
US91st
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 ›

Binge drinking

12.8%

in the bottom 12.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST4th
US12th

The estimated share of adults who report binge drinking — five or more drinks on one occasion for men, four or more for women.

A number of measures pull each way for this area: fiber broadband lies in the top 4.1% nationally, and modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 8.4% nationally. Modeled binge drinking sits in the bottom 12.2% nationally. Crowded housing is at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Set against that, modeled radon settles in the top 3.3% nationally, hearing disability resides in the top 4.5% nationally, and coronary heart disease registers in the top 6.5% nationally. Modeled pfas rests in the top 8.5% nationally, extreme heat stands in the top 8.8% nationally, and energy burden lies in the top 8.8% nationally.

A note on the 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. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 67511, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 2.21 years of 80.2, 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.
