Lower is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & 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.

Walkability

0.56 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 1.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

in the bottom 1.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST6th
US2nd
Definition & 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 read

Working from the partial data available, for Shoshone, California (ZIP 92384), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.

continue reading

What the available data indicates is laid out plainly: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 1.6% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and housing-cost burden lands at the national minimum. Poverty rests at the national minimum, home broadband subscription settles at the national maximum, and distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 5.3% nationally. Set against that, homeownership rests at the national minimum, and modeled arsenic settles in the top 1.2% nationally. Walkability lands in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and slow internet speeds rests in the top 3.3% nationally.

Set within its surrounding area, arsenic runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby.

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 1.13 years of 78.9, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
