Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, New Liberty, Iowa (ZIP 52765) lands in the top 35% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,231st) and the top 40% of Iowa (366th).
A number of signals point in a favorable direction for this area: unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise registers in the bottom 7.5% nationally, and mammography sits in the top 5.2% nationally. Modeled pfas rests in the bottom 8.3% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 11.7% nationally. Working the other way, modeled arsenic settles in the top 8.3% nationally, distance to a community health center lies in the top 11.0% nationally, and modeled binge drinking resides in the top 10.5% nationally. Modeled radon lands in the top 14.2% nationally.
To translate a couple of 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 52721, just across the boundary.

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 2.66 years of 88.5, 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.
