This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: modeled short sleep rests in the bottom 0.6% nationally, obesity registers in the bottom 10.0% nationally, and tree cover resides in the top 9.1% nationally. Modeled energy burden settles in the bottom 6.1% nationally, park land is in the top 12.9% nationally, and modeled high blood pressure sits in the bottom 10.7% nationally. Recreation lands in the top 16% nationally. Set against that, modeled disaster risk lies in the top 8.7% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site stands in the bottom 14.4% nationally. Modeled pfas rests in the top 16% nationally.

Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, 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. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. No nearby ZIP ranks healthier overall than this one.

“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 0.73 years of 79.9, 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.
