Short sleep

ST3rd

The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.

Grocery access

0.42 per 1,000 residents

in the top 2.1% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST98th
US98th
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.”

Median household income

Definition & source ›

The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.

Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: modeled short sleep rests in the bottom 0.3% nationally, grocery lies in the top 2.1% nationally, and household income sits in the top 4.4% nationally. Modeled obesity settles in the bottom 7.6% nationally, homeownership registers in the top 6.7% nationally, and elder services stands in the top 6.7% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health lands in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and home broadband subscription is in the top 7.0% nationally. Modeled independent living disability resides in the bottom 4.2% nationally. By contrast, PFAS in drinking water rests at the national maximum.

Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 80108, 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 1.07 years of 81.1, 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.
