Lithium in drinking water

Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS96thDefinition & source ›
The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
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.

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.

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 ›The read
Newberg, Oregon (ZIP 97132), by its composite score, sits in the top 21% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,763rd) and the top 10.1% of Oregon (41st).
Where the data is kindest to this area, a few readings lead the way: distance to an emergency room stands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled high cholesterol registers in the bottom 5.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center settles at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled energy burden sits in the bottom 11.5% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lies at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. On the other hand, lithium in drinking water rests in the top 4.0% nationally, modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 5.2% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the top 9.0% nationally. Modeled disaster risk lands in the top 10.4% nationally, and arsenic stands in the top 11.7% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby.

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 0.59 years of 79.0, 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.
