Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: dental providers registers in the top 2.5% nationally, outpatient stands in the top 4.3% nationally, and mental-health providers lands in the top 4.3% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure is in the bottom 3.6% nationally, modeled high cholesterol resides in the bottom 4.0% nationally, and grocery rests in the top 5.4% nationally. Physicians lies in the top 5.5% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease sits in the bottom 4.1% nationally. Modeled stroke settles in the bottom 3.5% nationally. Set against that, modeled extreme heat registers in the top 2.9% nationally.

Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Locally, no neighbor ranks healthier overall than this ZIP.

  • Heavy environment, light chronic burden

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 42.2; chronic-disease standing 96.1 (top 10%) — 54 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

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

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.
