PFAS in drinking water

5.3%

in the bottom 1.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST3rd
US1st
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

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 ›

Floodplain exposure

0.00%

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

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 ›

Expected annual disaster loss

$0

in the bottom 4.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US4th
Definition & source ›

FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.

Transportation noise

13.2%

in the top 5.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST84th
US95th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.

in the bottom 7.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST15th
US8th
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.

Full methodology ›

Air-toxics cancer risk

20 per million

in the bottom 25% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST8th
US25th
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.

The read

Given how limited the coverage is here, for Echo Lake, California (ZIP 95721), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.

continue reading

From the measures that are available, a few readings can be named: park land is in the top 0.3% nationally, and modeled pfas settles in the bottom 1.3% nationally. Floodplain exposure resides at the national minimum, and modeled expected annual loss registers in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 7.6% nationally. On the other side, modeled fine-particle stands in the top 0.5% nationally, modeled loud transportation noise lies in the top 0.9% nationally, and slow internet speeds lands in the top 1.0% nationally. Modeled transportation noise sits in the top 5.5% nationally. Fiber broadband is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.

Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards.

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 2.91 years of 81.2, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
