The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, ZIP 89149, one of several in Las Vegas, Nevada sits in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,272nd) and the top 18% of Nevada (30th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 2.3% nationally. Distance to an emergency room registers at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Walkability lands in the top 7.0% nationally, and floodplain exposure resides in the bottom 8.0% nationally. Home broadband subscription lies in the top 10.8% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease settles in the bottom 10.9% nationally. Park land stands in the top 13.0% nationally. Distance to a nursing home is at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Working the other way, modeled tree cover rests at the national minimum, and extreme heat sits in the top 7.7% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 89131, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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.
