The main burdens in the data show plainly and lead the picture: home broadband subscription stands at the national minimum, poverty is at the national maximum, and housing-cost burden rests at the national maximum. Modeled hearing disability sits in the top 0.7% nationally, coronary heart disease registers in the top 0.7% nationally, and stroke lands in the top 1.8% nationally. Modeled mammography resides in the bottom 2.3% nationally, and walkability lies in the bottom 1.9% nationally. More positively, modeled transportation noise settles at the national minimum, and homeownership stands at the national maximum.

Set against the neighboring ZIPs, home broadband subscription runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 86413, just across the boundary.

“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 2.31 years of 84.8, 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.
