Short sleep

Lower is healthier
ST13thUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.

ST99thUS96thDefinition & 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 ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the top 6.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS94thDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›Homeownership rate

ST2ndUS26thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
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.
Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Hampton, Minnesota (ZIP 55031) sits in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,212th) and the top 16% of Minnesota (142nd).
What works most in this area's favor shows up clearly across the measures: modeled short sleep is in the bottom 2.9% nationally, homeownership rests in the top 8.4% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity sits in the bottom 10.4% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff registers in the bottom 12.2% nationally, colon screening lands in the top 9.2% nationally, and food insecurity resides in the bottom 12.2% nationally. Poverty lies in the bottom 12.5% nationally. Working the other way, fatal road crashes settles in the top 4.5% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 6.2% nationally. Distance to a community health center is in the top 10.8% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 55024, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.17 years of 83.1, 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. How distance is measured
