Several serious readings shape the profile and deserve first mention: modeled cognitive disability sits in the top 3.0% nationally, modeled loud transportation noise lands in the top 2.4% nationally, and floodplain exposure lies in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled mammography stands in the bottom 5.3% nationally, obesity rests in the top 3.2% nationally, and independent living disability registers in the top 6.4% nationally. Walkability resides in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and modeled fair or poor health settles in the top 7.2% nationally. Poverty is in the top 6.0% nationally, and modeled tooth loss sits in the top 7.4% nationally.

Defined simply, 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. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 72445, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 2.65 years of 77.0, 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.
