The main burdens in the data show plainly and lead the picture: distance to an emergency room rests in the top 0.6% nationally, modeled mammography sits in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and distance to a nursing home registers in the top 2.4% nationally. Distance to a community health center lands in the top 4.5% nationally, and modeled tree cover resides at the national minimum. More positively, modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and outpatient settles in the top 0.9% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site is in the top 3.4% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 4.7% nationally.
In everyday language, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 82923, about 1.8 miles away.

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 3.07 years of 80.4, 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.
