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.
Arsenic in groundwater
1.1%
in the bottom 3.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST27thUS3rdDefinition & source ›
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 ›Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility
21.4 mi
in the top 4.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST96thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.
Full methodology ›Lead in tap water
8.5 ppb
in the top 4.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
US95thDefinition & source ›
The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›High blood pressure

Lower is healthier
ST74thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who have been told by a health professional that they have high blood pressure.

The estimated share of adults who rate their own general health as fair or poor.
Full methodology ›Elder-services access

Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS94thDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities 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 ›Tooth loss

The estimated share of adults aged 65 and older who have lost all of their natural teeth.

Full methodology ›The read
Warren, Arkansas (ZIP 71671), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 11.3% nationally (28,474th) and the bottom 35% of Arkansas (367th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: modeled arsenic sits in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 4.2% nationally. Distance to an emergency room registers at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Elder services stands in the top 5.8% nationally. By contrast, lead in tap water lands in the top 4.6% nationally, and modeled high blood pressure is in the top 4.8% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health resides in the top 6.6% nationally, and tooth loss rests in the top 7.6% nationally. Modeled short sleep lies in the top 7.0% nationally, and mobility disability sits in the top 7.3% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 71660, just across the boundary.

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 1.02 years of 73.8, 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.
