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.

Natural-disaster risk

in the top 0.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST90th
US99th
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 ›

Crowded housing

14.7%

in the top 2.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST85th
US98th
Definition & source ›

The share of occupied homes with more than one person per room, the Census definition of crowded housing.

Distance to a Superfund site

88 mi

in the top 4.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST45th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.

Full methodology ›

Grocery access

0.26 per 1,000 residents

in the top 4.7% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST93rd
US95th
Definition & source ›

The number of full supermarkets 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. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

Full methodology ›

Air-toxics cancer risk

14.9 per million

in the bottom 6.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST68th
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.

in the bottom 8.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

Full methodology ›

Recreation access

Higher is healthier

ST93rd
US94th
Definition & source ›

The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — 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 ›

312 units

in the top 7.8% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST87th
US92nd
Definition & source ›

The number of affordable rental units in this ZIP supported by the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program.

The read

On balance, and by the composite measure, Lahaina, Hawaii (ZIP 96761) ranks in the top 18% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,664th) and the top 41% of Hawaii (38th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: distance to a Superfund site is in the top 4.4% nationally, and grocery stands in the top 4.7% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk settles in the bottom 6.1% nationally, and obesity lies in the bottom 8.2% nationally. Recreation resides in the top 6.4% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 7.8% nationally. Against that, modeled disaster risk registers in the top 0.8% nationally, crowded housing sits in the top 2.2% nationally, and modeled loud transportation noise rests in the top 7.9% nationally. Modeled binge drinking is in the top 7.4% nationally.

In plainer terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 96793, just across the boundary.

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 0.95 years of 81.6, 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.
