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.

Walkability

0.56 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 1.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Full methodology ›

Transportation noise

0.00%

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.

Full methodology ›

Tree cover

0.00%

at the national minimum

Higher is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area covered by forest.

Full methodology ›

Expected annual disaster loss

$0

in the bottom 9.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST5th
US10th
Definition & source ›

FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.

Full methodology ›

Energy-cost burden

1.8%

in the bottom 8.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST9th
US9th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Full methodology ›

Natural-disaster risk

in the bottom 13.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST7th
US13th
Definition & source ›

This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.

The measures that are covered come first, caveats noted: modeled transportation noise lands at the national minimum, and expected annual loss registers in the bottom 9.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled energy burden rests in the bottom 8.9% nationally, and disaster risk is in the bottom 13.2% nationally. By contrast, walkability stands in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and modeled tree cover settles at the national minimum. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat resides in the top 10.5% nationally, and distance to a community health center lands in the top 11.0% nationally.

In plainer 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels.

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 1.83 years of 80.8, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
