continue reading

A number of readings press hard on the profile and set its tone: modeled hearing disability rests in the top 0.04% nationally, and coronary heart disease lands in the top 0.09% nationally. Modeled stroke settles in the top 0.5% nationally, and mammography rests in the bottom 0.9% nationally. Modeled colon screening lands in the bottom 1.5% nationally, vision disability settles in the top 3.5% nationally, and mobility disability rests in the top 2.1% nationally. Poverty lands in the top 1.6% nationally, and PFOA in drinking water settles at the national maximum. On the brighter side, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 1.3% nationally.

Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. ZIP 86301, 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 1.49 years of 71.3, 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.
