The measures that define this area's challenges come through directly: slow internet speeds is in the top 3.8% nationally, and modeled nitrate lands in the top 3.9% nationally. Modeled hearing disability stands in the top 4.5% nationally, and coronary heart disease registers in the top 4.7% nationally. Modeled tree cover settles at the national minimum, and distance to a community health center sits in the top 5.4% nationally. On the stronger side, housing-cost burden lies at the national minimum, poverty rests at the national minimum, and modeled pfas resides in the bottom 3.3% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site is in the top 4.7% nationally.

Beside the areas that surround it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, 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. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 67855, 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 2.21 years of 87.1, 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.
