The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Overall, Clarkdale, Arizona (ZIP 86324) lands in the bottom 33% nationally (21,437th) and the bottom 35% of Arizona (258th).
A number of measures mark where this area is under strain: modeled arsenic sits in the top 0.2% nationally, and mammography is in the bottom 1.8% nationally. Modeled hearing disability settles in the top 4.2% nationally, and coronary heart disease resides in the top 7.1% nationally. Modeled stroke registers in the top 7.8% nationally. On the brighter side, park land rests in the top 0.3% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 5.6% nationally, and elder services lies in the top 6.4% nationally. Modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 7.3% nationally, and home broadband subscription sits in the top 8.3% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, arsenic runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 86018, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

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 0.50 years of 79.3, 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.
