Full methodology ›The read
With only some of the sources reporting, for Lorton, Nebraska (ZIP 68382), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
The partial picture points to a handful of readings, with caveats: modeled expected annual loss registers in the bottom 1.0% nationally, walkability resides in the top 1.6% nationally, and modeled disaster risk settles in the bottom 1.9% nationally. Households without a vehicle is at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Set against that, unemployment sits in the top 0.6% nationally, and floodplain exposure lands in the top 3.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center lies in the top 4.2% nationally, and modeled tree cover stands at the national minimum. Distance to an emergency room rests in the top 7.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription registers in the bottom 8.8% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, unemployment runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain".
