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.

Fatal road crashes

0 per 100,000 residents per year

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.

A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Walkability

1.5 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 4.8% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST9th
US5th
Definition & source ›

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

Full methodology ›

Industrial-pollution burden

in the top 4.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST93rd
US95th
Definition & 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.

Full methodology ›

PFAS in drinking water

100%

at the national maximum

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The share of residents served by public water systems where PFAS — man-made “forever chemicals” that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down — were detected in EPA testing.

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.

Full methodology ›

Humid extreme heat

7.8 days/year

in the bottom 5.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST47th
US5th
Definition & source ›

The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.

The read

Bingham Canyon, Utah (ZIP 84006), on the composite measure, lands in the top 17% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,413th) and the top 26% of Utah (73rd).

continue reading

The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: fatal road crashes lands at the national minimum, modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease lies in the bottom 3.7% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure settles in the bottom 4.0% nationally, high cholesterol stands in the bottom 4.1% nationally, and diabetes is in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Working the other way, walkability rests in the bottom 4.8% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 4.8% nationally. PFAS in drinking water registers at the national maximum, and modeled fine-particle lands in the top 5.4% nationally.

Set against the neighboring ZIPs, walkability runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 84095, about 4.4 miles away.

Findings that name this ZIP

One of our published findings lists this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.

  • Heavy environment, light chronic burden

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 13.3; chronic-disease standing 92.2 (top 10%) — 79 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

    Ranked #17,112 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.

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 1.98 years of 79.2, 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.
