continue reading

An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled cognitive disability is in the top 3.9% nationally. Against that, modeled short sleep lies in the top 4.0% nationally, self-care disability registers in the top 6.3% nationally, and fair or poor health is in the top 6.8% nationally. Modeled obesity lies in the top 3.7% nationally, and independent living disability registers in the top 6.8% nationally. Poverty is in the top 6.2% nationally, and modeled tooth loss lies in the top 7.7% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff registers in the top 6.5% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk is in the top 6.8% nationally.

Put plainly, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 71023, 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 1.11 years of 76.4, 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.
