Health need and barriers to care documented here

On our reading, this ZIP code carries the overlap at its severe level: severe means at least four of the six health-need readings and at least four of the six access barriers apply to the same place.

These are two separate readings of public data that both apply to this place — never a claim that one causes the other, never a severity score, and never a statement about any person who lives here.

Health need documented here

  • People without health insurance
  • People living in poverty
  • Food insecurity
  • Housing insecurity
  • Adults reporting fair or poor health
  • Chronic conditions

Barriers to reaching care

  • Distance to the nearest emergency room
  • Distance to the nearest community health center
  • Households with no vehicle
  • Limited home internet for telehealth

A reading appears below only where this ZIP code is among the most-affected 10% of US ZIP codes on it — one national bar, the same for every ZIP in the country.

The measures that shape daily life here come through in the data: modeled vision disability lies in the top 0.8% nationally, uninsured sits in the top 1.7% nationally, and self-care disability settles in the top 2.1% nationally. Modeled diabetes registers in the top 1.6% nationally, modeled fair or poor health stands in the top 2.1% nationally, and distance to an emergency room lands in the top 1.1% nationally. Crowded housing is in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled mobility disability resides in the top 2.4% nationally. Unemployment rests in the top 1.5% nationally, and modeled hearing disability lies in the top 2.1% nationally.

Held up against its neighbors, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 85137, just across the boundary. Looking wider, the ZIP also shows documented health need overlapping with barriers to reaching care, sitting in the most-affected 10% of US ZIP codes on several need measures and several access barriers.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

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 1.14 years of 77.8, 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.
