Arsenic in groundwater
0.89%
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

ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.

in the top 2.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS98thDefinition & 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
75.6 mi
in the top 5.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST98thUS94thDefinition & 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 ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the bottom 7.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST3rdUS7thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›The read
From the partial coverage available here, for Wiseman, Arkansas (ZIP 72587), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
The available readings suggest a handful of things about this area: modeled arsenic stands in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and fiber broadband sits at the national maximum. Modeled transportation noise resides at the national minimum, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 2.4% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 5.7% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 7.1% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise stands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. By contrast, walkability sits in the bottom 11.7% nationally, distance to a nursing home resides in the top 17% nationally, and modeled extreme heat stands in the top 20% nationally.
For clarity, 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup.

|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 76.6 yr ± 1.65 | 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 1.65 years of 76.6, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
