Full methodology ›The read
From the partial coverage available here, for Clark's Point, Alaska (ZIP 99569), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
The readings that are available are worth naming, coverage aside: modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 0.3% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lies at the national minimum, and expected annual loss is in the bottom 3.5% nationally. On the other hand, modeled energy burden registers in the top 0.02% nationally, distance to a nursing home lies in the top 0.2% nationally, and distance to an emergency room is in the top 0.4% nationally. Crowded housing registers in the top 0.7% nationally, households without a vehicle lies in the top 0.9% nationally, and poverty is in the top 1.6% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards.

|---|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy at birth | 86.5 yr ± 3.30 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 79.0 yr (75.1–84.7) n=222 |
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 3.30 years of 86.5, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
