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.

Outer-floodplain exposure

6.3%

in the top 6.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST96th
US94th
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.

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.

Full methodology ›

Dry extreme heat

49.3 days/year

in the top 9.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST24th
US90th
Definition & source ›

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

Full methodology ›

PFOS in drinking water

86.1%

in the top 10.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST98th
US90th
Definition & source ›

The share of residents served by public water systems where PFOS, one of the most common “forever chemicals,” was detected in EPA testing.

Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›

Industrial-pollution burden

in the top 11.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST91st
US89th
Definition & 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 ›

Expected annual disaster loss

$0

in the top 11.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST90th
US88th
Definition & 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.

Full methodology ›

Fatal road crashes

4.1 per 100,000 residents per year

in the bottom 16% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST4th
US16th
Definition & source ›

The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.

A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Full methodology ›

Home broadband subscription

95.5%

in the top 17% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST92nd
US83rd
Definition & source ›

The share of households with a broadband internet subscription.

Full methodology ›

Energy-cost burden

2.2%

in the bottom 18% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST3rd
US18th
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.

Full methodology ›

Fair or poor health

16.1%

in the bottom 20% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST5th
US20th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who rate their own general health as fair or poor.

The bright spots in the data define much of the story here: fatal road crashes sits in the bottom 16% nationally, and home broadband subscription resides in the top 17% nationally. On the other side, outer-floodplain exposure stands in the top 6.0% nationally, and modeled extreme heat sits in the top 9.6% nationally. PFOS in drinking water resides in the top 10.4% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 11.2% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss sits in the top 11.9% nationally. Floodplain exposure resides in the top 13.1% nationally, and modeled fine-particle stands in the top 13.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.

Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. ZIP 74008, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.54 years of 80.1, 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. How distance is measured
