Lithium in drinking water

ST1stUS2ndDefinition & source ›
The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Hawkins, Texas (ZIP 75765) ranks in the bottom 38% nationally (19,733rd) and the top 40% of Texas (742nd).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: lithium in drinking water stands in the bottom 2.0% nationally, and modeled radon lies in the bottom 10.3% nationally. Modeled arsenic lands in the bottom 14.3% nationally. Set against that, modeled extreme heat sits in the top 6.9% nationally, air-toxics cancer risk is in the top 8.4% nationally, and humid heat settles in the top 9.2% nationally. Unemployment resides in the top 9.5% nationally, modeled high cholesterol registers in the top 9.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure rests in the top 15% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
To spell things out, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Close by, ZIP 75771, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.25 years of 78.2, 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.
