Modeled utility shutoff resides in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and transportation lands in the bottom 1.3% nationally. Modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 2.3% nationally, cognitive disability sits in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and obesity rests in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Fatal road crashes is in the bottom 4.9% nationally, and modeled independent living disability stands in the bottom 2.3% nationally.

Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. This ZIP stands out as the strongest overall among its immediate neighbors.

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

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.
