What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Grocery access

0.33 per 1,000 residents

in the top 3.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST98th
US97th
Definition & source ›

The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

Mammography

66.1%

in the bottom 4.1% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST4th

Definition & source ›

The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.

Full methodology ›

Nitrate in drinking water

0.39%

in the top 7.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST84th
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams per liter.

A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Full methodology ›

Fatal road crashes

38.5 per 100,000 residents per year

in the top 7.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST86th
US92nd
Definition & source ›

The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.

A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Full methodology ›

Households without a vehicle

14.5%

in the top 7.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST95th
US92nd

ST94th
US91st
Definition & source ›

The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Full methodology ›

Crowded housing

6.6%

in the top 9.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST80th

The share of occupied homes with more than one person per room, the Census definition of crowded housing.

The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: grocery lands in the top 3.2% nationally, and elder services stands in the top 9.0% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled mammography registers in the bottom 4.1% nationally, and uninsured settles in the top 5.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits in the top 4.1% nationally, distance to a community health center lies in the top 4.2% nationally, and modeled nitrate rests in the top 7.5% nationally. Fatal road crashes resides in the top 7.6% nationally, households without a vehicle is in the top 7.8% nationally, and crowded housing lands in the top 9.3% nationally.

For readers new to these terms, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 76230, just across the boundary.

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 1.27 years of 75.9, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

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.
