Distance to a community health center

Lower is healthier
ST89thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
40.9 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 6.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.
Full methodology ›Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance

Lower is healthier
ST61stUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.

Lower is healthier
ST77thUS92ndDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›Unemployment rate

Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Brook Park, Minnesota (ZIP 55007) sits in the bottom 32% nationally (21,868th) and the bottom 4.6% of Minnesota (827th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: homeownership resides in the top 11.4% nationally, modeled humid heat sits in the bottom 13.2% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 15.0% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 19% nationally. On the other hand, distance to a community health center sits in the top 1.1% nationally, and fatal road crashes stands in the top 6.6% nationally. Modeled fine-particle resides in the top 7.3% nationally, and energy burden sits in the top 8.4% nationally. Recreation stands at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Unemployment resides in the top 19% nationally.
Put plainly, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 55030, 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 1.01 years of 80.1, 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.
