Lithium in drinking water

ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›The read
Jurupa Valley, California (ZIP 92509), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 29% nationally (22,738th) and the bottom 23% of California (1,329th).
The profile opens on the burdens that define it most: distance to a Superfund site rests at the national minimum, crowded housing lies in the top 2.0% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss sits in the top 3.1% nationally. Modeled colon screening settles in the bottom 4.7% nationally, fine-particle registers in the top 3.7% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk stands in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled uninsured lands in the top 6.0% nationally, and housing insecurity is in the top 5.5% nationally. Modeled loneliness resides in the top 6.3% nationally. More positively, lithium in drinking water rests in the bottom 1.4% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 91752, just across the boundary.

Findings that name this ZIP
3 of our published findings list this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.
Below what income predicts
The ZIP codes that outlive their incomes
Estimated life expectancy is 77.8 ± 1.0 years. A median household income of $95,355 predicts 79.9 years — 2.1 years below.

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 0.49 years of 77.8, 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
