Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance

ST84thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.

in the top 1.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST85thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.

in the bottom 9.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST15thUS9thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Radon
2.7 pCi/L
in the top 16% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS84thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Colon-cancer screening
70%
in the top 21% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST90thUS79thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.
Full methodology ›Arsenic in groundwater

in the top 24% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST10thUS76thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Uninsured (under 65)
7.4%

Lower is healthier
ST9thUS33rdDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 18–64 with no current health-insurance coverage.
Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Verdi, Nevada (ZIP 89439) sits in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,370th) and the top 25% of Nevada (41st).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled extreme heat settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled obesity stands in the bottom 11.4% nationally, park land is in the top 9.9% nationally, and lead in tap water rests in the bottom 11.2% nationally. Modeled energy burden sits in the bottom 9.0% nationally. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other hand, modeled fine-particle lands in the top 0.7% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 1.8% nationally. Housing-cost burden lies in the top 7.9% nationally, and slow internet speeds settles in the top 14.3% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, industrial-pollution burden runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. ZIP 89511, 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

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 1.89 years of 81.2, 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. How distance is measured
