Where the data does reach, it says a few things here: modeled transportation noise resides at the national minimum, disaster risk lies in the bottom 6.6% nationally, and expected annual loss settles in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 7.7% nationally. Set against that, modeled extreme heat is in the top 2.8% nationally, and distance to a nursing home rests in the top 5.4% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to an emergency room registers in the top 10.3% nationally, and walkability lands in the bottom 10.4% nationally. Modeled humid heat resides in the top 10.9% nationally.

In plain language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.

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 1.49 years of 77.3, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
