continue reading

Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled obesity stands in the bottom 4.1% nationally, air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and high blood pressure registers in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Floodplain exposure resides at the national minimum, modeled coronary heart disease settles in the bottom 2.7% nationally, and walkability is in the top 4.2% nationally. Modeled hearing disability sits in the bottom 4.5% nationally, and expected annual loss lands in the bottom 6.1% nationally. On the other side, modeled short sleep lies in the top 0.4% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site stands in the bottom 4.6% nationally.

Measured against the nearby ZIPs, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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. ZIP 96789, about 1.9 miles away, comes out healthier overall.

“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 3.90 years of 87.1, 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.
