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.

Recreation access

1.5 per 1,000 residents

in the top 3.7% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST98th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›

Housing-cost burden

4.9%

in the bottom 5.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST4th
US5th
Definition & source ›

The share of households spending 30% or more of their income on housing.

Full methodology ›

Humid extreme heat

141.7 days/year

in the top 6.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST40th
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.

Full methodology ›

Homeownership rate

96.1%

in the top 7.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST94th
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.

Full methodology ›

Civic-institution access

0.49 per 1,000 residents

in the top 13.0% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST91st
US87th
Definition & source ›

The number of civic and social organizations inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›

Radon

0.8 pCi/L

in the bottom 9.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST93rd
US9th
Definition & source ›

The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.

Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

Full methodology ›

Fiber broadband

81.8%

in the top 22% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST94th
US78th
Definition & source ›

The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.

continue reading

A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: recreation registers in the top 3.7% nationally, housing-cost burden is in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and homeownership lies in the top 7.4% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise registers at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Civic is in the top 13.0% nationally, and modeled radon lies in the bottom 9.2% nationally. On the other hand, modeled humid heat registers in the top 6.9% nationally, and extreme heat is in the top 11.9% nationally. Modeled binge drinking lies in the top 11.2% nationally, and floodplain exposure registers in the top 15.0% nationally.

Set within its surrounding area, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 71342, 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 1.07 years of 77.4, 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.
