Lower is healthier

ST6th
US11th
Definition & 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.

The measures split the difference for this area: distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 9.9% nationally, and lithium in drinking water lands in the bottom 10.6% nationally. Fiber broadband registers in the top 12.0% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Against that, modeled extreme heat rests in the top 2.5% nationally, transportation noise is in the top 5.6% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 12.3% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure lies in the top 16% nationally, and PFAS in drinking water resides in the top 16% nationally.

Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 76367, just across the boundary.

    The ZIP codes that outlive their incomes

    Estimated life expectancy is 76.5 ± 1.6 years. A median household income of $68,721 predicts 78.6 years — 2.1 years below.

    Ranked #2,886 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 0.84 years of 76.5, 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.
