Industrial-pollution burden

ST94thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms 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.

ZIP 77713, one of several in Beaumont, Texas, by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 49% nationally (16,252nd) and the top 29% of Texas (537th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens on the burdens that define it most: modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 1.6% nationally, humid heat settles in the top 3.1% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk registers in the top 7.6% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss stands in the top 9.5% nationally, modeled loud transportation noise lands in the top 11.2% nationally, and crowded housing is in the top 13.8% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. More positively, modeled arsenic rests in the bottom 1.7% nationally, and radon lies in the bottom 0.6% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs.
Held up against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 77613, just across the boundary.

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 1.19 years of 77.6, 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.
