The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: modeled high cholesterol sits in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and high blood pressure is in the bottom 0.9% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease settles in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and diabetes resides in the bottom 0.9% nationally. Modeled stroke registers in the bottom 0.8% nationally, and mobility disability rests in the bottom 1.0% nationally. Set against that, modeled binge drinking stands in the top 1.3% nationally, slow internet speeds lies in the top 0.8% nationally, and homeownership lands in the bottom 1.0% nationally. Modeled pfas sits in the top 1.0% nationally.

Set beside the nearby areas, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: 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. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 73150, about 1.3 miles away, ranks better overall. The ZIP also sits on the healthier half of the national range on at least seven of the ten good-life measures tracked here, from quiet and green space to nearby care, a combination reached by about one in twenty-five US ZIP codes.

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 1.37 years of 76.4, 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.
