A few readings carry most of this area's story: distance to a nursing home settles in the top 0.7% nationally, distance to an emergency room lands in the top 0.8% nationally, and distance to a community health center rests in the top 1.2% nationally. Modeled fine-particle settles in the top 1.9% nationally. On the better side, modeled industrial-pollution burden lands at the national minimum, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 0.6% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and transportation noise lands at the national minimum. Poverty rests at the national minimum, and modeled humid heat settles in the bottom 2.6% nationally.

Placed beside its immediate neighbors, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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 hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 89010, about 16 miles away.

“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

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.
