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.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Jerome, Arizona (ZIP 86331) sits in the top 40% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,985th) and the top 42% of Arizona (167th).
Reading across the measures, this area's clearest strengths come through: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies in the top 3.6% nationally, modeled loneliness settles in the bottom 4.1% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss stands in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Floodplain exposure is in the bottom 6.5% nationally. Households without a vehicle rests at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. By contrast, housing-cost burden registers in the top 3.0% nationally, and modeled arsenic lands in the top 3.7% nationally. Modeled mammography resides in the bottom 7.6% nationally, and unemployment lies in the top 10.1% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, arsenic runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. ZIP 86327, about 2.3 miles away, ranks healthier 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 0.88 years of 78.8, 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.
