A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled binge drinking stands in the bottom 0.4% nationally, and high cholesterol sits in the bottom 2.3% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure resides in the bottom 2.7% nationally, and coronary heart disease stands in the bottom 3.3% nationally. Park land sits in the top 4.9% nationally, modeled diabetes resides in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and modeled stroke stands in the bottom 3.5% nationally. Modeled mobility disability sits in the bottom 4.4% nationally. By contrast, modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 1.3% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 3.9% nationally.

Set beside the wider area around it, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. ZIP 84653, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

    Ranked #1,849 of the 5,842 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by years above what income predicts, highest first.

  • Heavy environment, light chronic burden

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 13.4; chronic-disease standing 96.1 (top 10%) — 83 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

    Ranked #17,389 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 0.52 years of 78.7, 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.
