A number of measures mark where this area is under strain: modeled stroke registers in the top 1.0% nationally, and coronary heart disease rests in the top 0.6% nationally. Modeled mobility disability stands in the top 0.8% nationally, and self-care disability lies in the top 2.1% nationally. Modeled diabetes lands in the top 1.9% nationally, hearing disability sits in the top 1.5% nationally, and fair or poor health is in the top 2.9% nationally. Modeled independent living disability settles in the top 3.2% nationally, and high blood pressure resides in the top 2.1% nationally. On the brighter side, modeled arsenic registers in the bottom 0.9% nationally.

To spell things out, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Close by, ZIP 70639, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 94.0 (top 10%); chronic-disease standing 0.9 (bottom 1%) — 93 points apart, cleaner on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

    Ranked #52 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 3.21 years of 76.4, 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.
