In overall standing, Austin, Nevada (ZIP 89310) comes out in the bottom 35% nationally (20,784th) and the bottom 44% of Nevada (93rd).

continue reading

The profile opens on the readings that matter most locally: distance to a nursing home stands in the top 0.8% nationally, distance to an emergency room lands in the top 0.9% nationally, and walkability is in the bottom 1.8% nationally. Modeled arsenic resides in the top 3.0% nationally, slow internet speeds rests in the top 3.3% nationally, and modeled fine-particle lies in the top 6.0% nationally. More positively, poverty sits at the national minimum, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk settles in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 5.8% nationally, and modeled humid heat stands in the bottom 5.9% nationally.

Relative to the ZIPs around it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 89445, about 27 miles away.

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 1.62 years of 79.8, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
