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.

Elder-services access

1.7 per 1,000 residents

in the top 0.3% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities 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.

Uninsured (under 65)

21.9%

in the top 3.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST96th
US97th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.

Lower is healthier

ST98th
US98th
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.

in the top 2.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US98th
Definition & source ›

Industrial-pollution burden

in the bottom 2.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST7th
US2nd
Definition & source ›

Walkability

1.1 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 2.8% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST16th
US3rd

The profile carries real weight, and several readings make that plain: modeled uninsured resides in the top 3.4% nationally, modeled energy burden sits in the top 2.4% nationally, and crowded housing stands in the top 2.3% nationally. Walkability resides in the bottom 2.8% nationally, modeled colon screening sits in the bottom 4.5% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 5.7% nationally. Modeled vision disability resides in the top 7.9% nationally. Better still, elder services sits in the top 0.3% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 2.3% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 3.0% nationally.

Set within its surrounding area, elder services runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 81047, just across the boundary.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

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 1.84 years of 81.6, 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.
