Median household income

Definition & source ›

The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.

PFAS in drinking water

6.0%

in the bottom 2.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST11th
US2nd
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Distance to a Superfund site

87.4 mi

in the top 4.5% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST94th
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.

Industrial-pollution burden

in the bottom 4.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST9th
US5th
Definition & source ›

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.

Lower is healthier

ST5th
US4th
Definition & 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.

10 days/year

in the bottom 7.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST30th

Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: household income lands in the top 3.1% nationally, and modeled pfas registers in the bottom 2.0% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 4.5% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Modeled energy burden is in the bottom 3.7% nationally, and humid heat stands in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Crowded housing lies at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Against that, modeled fine-particle resides in the top 6.9% nationally, and arsenic lands in the top 13.0% nationally.

Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 97701, just across the boundary.

“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 1.30 years of 78.6, 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.
