A few readings each way define this mixed profile: modeled loud transportation noise registers at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, modeled hearing disability is in the top 2.8% nationally, mammography lies in the bottom 5.5% nationally, and mobility disability registers in the top 7.5% nationally. Modeled short sleep is in the top 7.8% nationally, and tooth loss lies in the top 8.8% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease registers in the top 9.0% nationally, and poverty is in the top 10.5% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure lies in the top 9.8% nationally, and independent living disability registers in the top 10.8% nationally.

Put plainly, loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 74462, just across the boundary.

Findings that name this ZIP

One of our published findings lists this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.

  • Clean environment, heavy chronic burden

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 58.3; chronic-disease standing 7.8 (bottom 10%) — 51 points apart, cleaner on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

    Ranked #2,454 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.

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 1.57 years of 80.6, 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.
