Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: modeled uninsured registers in the top 2.3% nationally, and vision disability sits in the top 2.1% nationally. Modeled self-care disability rests in the top 3.0% nationally, and fair or poor health is in the top 3.2% nationally. Modeled colon screening stands in the bottom 4.0% nationally, mammography settles in the bottom 4.1% nationally, and independent living disability lies in the top 5.5% nationally. Modeled food insecurity resides in the top 4.5% nationally, and mobility disability lands in the top 6.0% nationally. On the encouraging side, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 3.9% nationally.

In plainer terms, 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 ZIP overall, look to ZIP 88007, just across the boundary.

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 0.64 years of 77.2, 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.
