This area's most favorable readings come through plainly in the numbers: modeled energy burden lands in the bottom 3.0% nationally, diabetes lies in the bottom 3.5% nationally, and coronary heart disease stands in the bottom 5.1% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure rests in the bottom 5.2% nationally, modeled obesity registers in the bottom 9.2% nationally, and lithium in drinking water resides in the bottom 7.3% nationally. Household income settles in the top 7.7% nationally. On the other side, modeled tree cover is at the national minimum, and industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 5.3% nationally. Modeled fine-particle lands in the top 5.8% nationally.

Measured against the nearby ZIPs, industrial-pollution burden runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. ZIP 84020, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

Findings that name this ZIP

2 of our published findings list 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.

  • Above its nearby ZIPs

    The ZIP codes that outlive their neighbors

    Estimated life expectancy is 81.9 ± 1.7 years. The 44 nearest ZIP codes with estimates average 79.1 years — 2.8 years above them.

    Ranked #931 of the 3,687 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by years above the nearby-ZIP average, highest first.

  • Heavy environment, light chronic burden

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 6.5 (bottom 10%); chronic-disease standing 92.7 (top 10%) — 86 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

    Ranked #17,641 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 0.87 years of 81.9, 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.
