What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Arsenic in groundwater

75.9%

in the top 0.06% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST97th
US99th
Definition & source ›

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.

Park land

95.3%

in the top 0.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST98th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.

Full methodology ›

Mammography

64.2%

in the bottom 2.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST25th
US2nd
Definition & source ›

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

Full methodology ›

Fatal road crashes

62.4 per 100,000 residents per year

in the top 2.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST92nd
US98th
Definition & source ›

The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.

A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Full methodology ›

Lithium in drinking water

95 µg/L

in the top 2.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST77th
US97th
Definition & source ›

The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.

Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›

Walkability

2.3 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 9.6% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST18th
US10th
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Full methodology ›

Several measures weigh most on this area's profile, and they come first: modeled arsenic lands in the top 0.06% nationally, and mammography sits in the bottom 2.2% nationally. Fatal road crashes is in the top 2.0% nationally, and lithium in drinking water settles in the top 2.8% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Walkability registers in the bottom 9.6% nationally. On the better side, park land rests in the top 0.2% nationally, modeled obesity stands in the bottom 13.9% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the bottom 13.4% nationally. Lead in tap water lands in the bottom 14.5% 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. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 86017, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

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 1.46 years of 81.6, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

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.
