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.
Walkability
410 intersections/sq mi
in the top 0.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Floodplain exposure
0.00%
at the national minimum
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & 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 5.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST9thUS5thDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden
1.5%
in the bottom 4.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST2ndUS5thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Natural-disaster risk
in the bottom 12.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS12thDefinition & 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 ›The read
With the picture still incomplete, for Tripler Army Medical Center, Hawaii (ZIP 96859), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
Where the data does reach, it says a few things here: walkability lands in the top 0.2% nationally, floodplain exposure resides at the national minimum, and modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Modeled energy burden settles in the bottom 4.7% nationally, modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 12.4% nationally, and distance to an emergency room is in the bottom 13.7% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure rests at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Set against that, park land sits at the national minimum, shared with about 48% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site registers in the bottom 26% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 81.8 yr ± 1.25 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 81.0 yr (78.3–85.4) n=84 |
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 1.25 years of 81.8, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
