Industrial-pollution burden

continue reading

The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 1.3% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 1.8% nationally, and poverty registers at the national minimum. Homeownership rests at the national maximum, and home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled extreme heat lands in the top 1.1% nationally, lithium in drinking water sits in the top 1.5% nationally, and walkability is in the bottom 1.8% nationally.

Read against the ZIPs closest to it, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Close by, ZIP 84770, about 25 miles away, ranks healthier 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 3.07 years of 84.3, 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.
