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.
Energy-cost burden
6.5%
in the top 1.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS98thDefinition & 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.

The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms 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.

Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Ashby, Nebraska (ZIP 69333) stands in the top 41% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,283rd) and the bottom 30% of Nebraska (394th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 3.3% nationally. By contrast, modeled energy burden registers in the top 1.7% nationally, and distance to a community health center lies in the top 1.1% nationally. Walkability is in the bottom 1.1% nationally, distance to a nursing home registers in the top 2.4% nationally, and distance to an emergency room lies in the top 2.6% nationally. Home broadband subscription is in the bottom 4.2% nationally, modeled arsenic registers in the top 4.6% nationally, and modeled binge drinking lies in the top 5.2% nationally.
For clarity, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. ZIP 69121, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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

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.
