Arsenic in groundwater
0.90%
in the bottom 0.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST9thUS1stDefinition & 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 ›Fiber broadband
100%
at the national maximum
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›PFAS in drinking water
5.5%
in the bottom 1.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST2ndUS1stDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
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 ›Transportation noise
0.00%
at the national minimum
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.
Full methodology ›Tree cover

ST91stUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area covered by forest.

Higher is healthier
ST88thUS92ndDefinition & 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 ›Distance to a Superfund site
62 mi
in the top 8.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST90thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.
Full methodology ›Expected annual disaster loss

in the bottom 13.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST10thUS13thDefinition & source ›
FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.

Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS83rdDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.
Full methodology ›The read
On the coverage assembled to date, for Bexar, Arkansas (ZIP 72515), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
The measures that are covered come first, caveats noted: modeled arsenic is in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and fiber broadband stands at the national maximum. Modeled pfas settles in the bottom 1.5% nationally, and transportation noise lies at the national minimum. Modeled tree cover resides in the top 7.1% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 8.1% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 8.3% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 13.3% nationally. By contrast, distance to a community health center is in the top 17% nationally.
In plainer terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. 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.

| Life expectancy at birth | 73.6 yr ± 1.25 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 76.2 yr (73.4–79.7) n=580 |
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 1.25 years of 73.6, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
