The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled high cholesterol registers in the bottom 4.9% nationally, and radon settles in the bottom 2.5% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, modeled cognitive disability lies in the top 4.8% nationally, modeled extreme heat rests in the top 5.3% nationally, and crowded housing resides in the top 6.5% nationally. Modeled independent living disability is in the top 8.8% nationally, modeled colon screening lands in the bottom 9.1% nationally, and homeownership stands in the bottom 10.2% nationally. Modeled mammography registers in the bottom 10.1% nationally.

For anyone unfamiliar, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay.

    Ranked #2,064 of the 5,842 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by years above what income predicts, 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 0.75 years of 75.8, 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.
