The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.

ST97thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.

Full methodology ›Grocery access

in the top 1.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

Bagdad, Arizona (ZIP 86321), in overall standing, comes out in the top 44% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,130th) and the top 45% of Arizona (179th).
A few readings carry most of this area's story: modeled mammography lies in the bottom 1.5% nationally, distance to a nursing home registers in the top 2.3% nationally, and walkability is in the bottom 3.0% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lies in the top 3.3% nationally, and modeled colon screening registers in the bottom 4.8% nationally. On the better side, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 0.8% nationally, and grocery lies in the top 1.9% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and high blood pressure is in the bottom 2.6% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol lies in the bottom 3.1% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 85332, just across the boundary.

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 2.14 years of 84.7, 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.
