What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Short sleep

46.7%

in the top 1.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST74th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.

Full methodology ›

Natural-disaster risk

in the top 4.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST48th
US96th
Definition & source ›

This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.

Full methodology ›

Lead in tap water

0 ppb

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

US1st
Definition & source ›

The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.

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.

Median household income

$131,653

in the top 6.7% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST95th
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.

Full methodology ›

Obesity

26.3%

in the bottom 7.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST49th
US8th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults with obesity, defined as a body-mass index of 30 or higher.

Higher is healthier

ST84th
US94th
Definition & source ›

The number of public-transit stops inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›

Air-toxics cancer risk

12.2 per million

in the bottom 5.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST61st
US6th
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.

7.7%

in the top 7.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST52nd

The read

By the composite measure, Kaneohe, Hawaii (ZIP 96744) sits in the top 10.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,352nd) and the top 21% of Hawaii (19th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

continue reading

The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: lead in tap water sits at the national minimum, household income registers in the top 6.7% nationally, and modeled obesity lands in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Transit resides in the top 5.8% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 5.8% nationally, and park land settles in the top 9.4% nationally. Working the other way, modeled short sleep stands in the top 1.5% nationally, and disaster risk is in the top 4.1% nationally. Crowded housing rests in the top 7.1% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise sits in the top 8.9% nationally.

Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. ZIP 96701, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

What’s driving this score

Nine domains make up the ZipVitals Score — here is how this ZIP does on each, and how much each one counts.

No data: Climate / Disaster Risk — not measured in this ZIP, so it is left out of the score entirely rather than estimated.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

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 0.58 years of 80.9, 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.
