How we rank healthcare access

The Healthcare Access Score is higher when a hospital is closer to the ZIP's center.

The score does not account for hospital size, specialties, quality, or drive time, and many urban ZIPs tie near 100.

Open a ZIP's profile for the distance in miles and the number of hospitals within 15 miles.

Only ZIPs with at least 1,000 residents are ranked, so a handful of households cannot top the list. 65 Alaska ZIPs qualify.
