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.

Dry extreme heat

90.5 days/year

in the top 2.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST75th
US97th
Definition & source ›

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

Floodplain exposure

42.6%

in the top 5.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST92nd
US94th
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.

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.

The number of affordable rental units in this ZIP supported by the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program.

continue reading

Several good marks anchor the profile and deserve first mention: subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 6.9% nationally, home broadband subscription lands in the top 9.3% nationally, and modeled radon is in the bottom 4.5% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides in the bottom 12.4% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease rests in the bottom 12.1% nationally. By contrast, modeled extreme heat lies in the top 2.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure sits in the top 5.6% nationally. PFAS in drinking water settles in the top 11.8% nationally, and modeled disaster risk registers in the top 12.4% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss stands in the top 12.5% nationally.

Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 75032, 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 0.70 years of 79.0, 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.
