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.

Nitrate in drinking water

35.3%

in the top 1.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST84th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams 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.

Mammography

66.3%

in the bottom 4.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST31st
US4th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.

Full methodology ›

Distance to an emergency room

22.3 mi

in the top 4.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST97th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Medicare-certified hospital with an emergency room.

Full methodology ›

Dry extreme heat

83.9 days/year

in the top 4.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST96th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.

Full methodology ›

Outpatient-care access

0.66 per 1,000 residents

in the top 4.5% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST95th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The number of outpatient clinics located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›

Hearing disability

11.7%

in the top 5.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST71st
US94th
Definition & source ›

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

ST9th
US7th
Definition & source ›

Energy-cost burden

4.7%

in the top 13.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST91st
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.

Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: modeled nitrate settles in the top 1.4% nationally, and mammography lies in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides in the top 4.1% nationally, and modeled extreme heat lands in the top 4.4% nationally. Modeled hearing disability registers in the top 5.6% nationally, modeled mobility disability sits in the top 9.3% nationally, and slow internet speeds rests in the top 12.2% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease is in the top 11.4% nationally. On the encouraging side, outpatient stands in the top 4.5% nationally, and modeled binge drinking settles in the bottom 7.9% nationally.

In plainer terms, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 73549, just across the boundary.

“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 0.85 years of 76.1, 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.
