continue reading

A number of readings press hard on the profile and set its tone: modeled mammography lands in the bottom 4.0% nationally, and distance to a nursing home settles in the top 4.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center rests in the top 5.8% nationally. On the brighter side, modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 1.7% nationally, binge drinking settles in the bottom 1.7% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 6.3% nationally, elder services rests in the top 6.4% nationally, and pharmacy lands in the top 6.7% nationally.

For clarity, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 84629, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.09 years of 82.2, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
