continue reading

Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled high cholesterol lands in the bottom 1.4% nationally, and coronary heart disease registers in the bottom 1.3% nationally. Modeled hearing disability sits in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and stroke rests in the bottom 2.0% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure is in the bottom 3.0% nationally. Against that, modeled transportation noise stands in the top 0.05% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk settles in the top 0.5% nationally, and homeownership lies in the bottom 0.9% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 1.1% nationally, and extreme heat lands in the top 2.3% nationally.

Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 76039, just across the boundary.

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.

  • Heavy environment, light chronic burden

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 0.6 (bottom 1%); chronic-disease standing 97.7 (top 10%) — 97 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

    Ranked #18,164 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

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
