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.

Floodplain exposure

58%

in the top 2.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST91st
US97th
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.

Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

Cognitive disability

21.2%

in the top 5.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST84th
US95th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults with serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.

Full methodology ›

Homeownership rate

40.3%

in the bottom 5.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST3rd
US5th
Definition & source ›

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

Natural-disaster risk

in the bottom 7.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST9th
US7th
Definition & source ›

This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.

Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility

14.3 mi

in the top 8.6% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST85th
US91st
Definition & 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 ›

Independent-living disability

12.3%

in the top 9.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST74th
US90th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who have difficulty doing errands alone, such as visiting a doctor’s office, because of a physical, mental, or emotional condition.

Full methodology ›

Hearing disability

11.0%

in the top 9.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST73rd
US91st
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who are deaf or have serious difficulty hearing.

Full methodology ›

Arsenic in groundwater

1.4%

in the bottom 9.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST58th
US10th
Definition & 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 ›

Energy-cost burden

4.7%

in the top 13.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST93rd
US87th
Definition & 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.

Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 7.4% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 8.6% nationally. Modeled arsenic rests in the bottom 9.9% nationally. Working the other way, floodplain exposure lands in the top 2.8% nationally, modeled cognitive disability settles in the top 5.5% nationally, and homeownership rests in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health lands in the top 10.4% nationally, independent living disability settles in the top 9.8% nationally, and hearing disability rests in the top 9.4% nationally. Modeled mobility disability lands in the top 11.4% nationally.

For clarity, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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 72413, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

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 1.30 years of 76.0, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
