Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 9.3% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 10.3% nationally. By contrast, modeled mammography resides in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and home broadband subscription rests in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Slow internet speeds lies in the top 4.3% nationally, and modeled extreme heat sits in the top 8.1% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.

Held up against its neighbors, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 74865, about 1.2 miles away.

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 2.47 years of 82.6, 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.
