Several good marks anchor the profile and deserve first mention: modeled radon lands in the bottom 4.2% nationally. Distance to a community health center is at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled coronary heart disease resides in the bottom 9.7% nationally. By contrast, modeled expected annual loss rests in the top 2.6% nationally, and humid heat lies in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled disaster risk sits in the top 4.8% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure settles in the top 7.5% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the top 7.6% nationally, and extreme heat stands in the top 8.4% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 11.7% nationally.

Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 77316, just across the boundary.

Findings that name this ZIP

2 of our published findings list 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.

  • Below what income predicts

    The ZIP codes that outlive their incomes

    Estimated life expectancy is 78.6 ± 1.1 years. A median household income of $112,504 predicts 80.5 years — 2.0 years below.

    Ranked #2,549 of the 5,842 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by years above what income predicts, highest first.

  • Highest-risk tenth

    Air toxics and the years between the two ends of the risk scale

    Modeled air-toxics cancer risk is 38.6 cases per million — among the tenth of compared ZIP codes with the most. Estimated life expectancy is 78.6 ± 1.1 years.

    Ranked #1,675 of the 4,173 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by modeled air-toxics risk, 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 0.57 years of 78.6, 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. How distance is measured
