The read

With only part of the picture in hand, for Picher, Oklahoma (ZIP 74360), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.

continue reading

With coverage still limited, the data points to what it can here: poverty resides at the national minimum, homeownership lies at the national maximum, and lead in tap water settles at the national minimum. Unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle is at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Working the other way, home broadband subscription rests at the national minimum, and housing-cost burden sits at the national maximum. Modeled fine-particle registers in the top 4.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lands in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Floodplain exposure resides in the top 8.1% nationally.

Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, home broadband subscription runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup.

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 1.16 years of 75.2, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
