The read

A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled loneliness settles in the bottom 4.5% nationally, and transportation noise rests in the bottom 5.8% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. By contrast, distance to a community health center lands in the top 0.06% nationally, walkability settles in the bottom 1.3% nationally, and distance to a nursing home rests in the top 4.8% nationally. Modeled energy burden lands in the top 4.2% nationally, and distance to an emergency room settles in the top 6.3% nationally.

For clarity, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 69163, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

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

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
