What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

PFAS in drinking water

88%

in the top 0.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

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 ›

Short sleep

28.1%

in the bottom 3.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST16th
US3rd
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.

Full methodology ›

Lead in tap water

0 ppb

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

US1st
Definition & source ›

The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.

Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›

Fatal road crashes

1.3 per 100,000 residents per year

in the bottom 5.0% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST8th
US5th
Definition & 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 ›

Subsidized affordable housing

416 units

in the top 5.6% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST96th
US94th
Definition & source ›

The number of affordable rental units in this ZIP supported by the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program.

Full methodology ›

Transit access

4.2 per 1,000 residents

in the top 6.8% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST91st
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The number of public-transit stops inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›

Park land

20.3%

in the top 6.9% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST96th
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area that is public parkland.

Full methodology ›

Diabetes

8.1%

in the bottom 4.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST7th
US5th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who have been diagnosed with diabetes.

Full methodology ›

Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance

1.1%

in the top 8.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST50th
US91st
Definition & 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.

Full methodology ›

Tooth loss

5.7%

in the bottom 3.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST5th
US4th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults aged 65 and older who have lost all of their natural teeth.

The read

By the composite measure, Champlin, Minnesota (ZIP 55316) sits in the top 12.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,034th) and the top 12.1% of Minnesota (104th).

continue reading

Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled short sleep rests in the bottom 3.3% nationally, lead in tap water sits at the national minimum, and fatal road crashes registers in the bottom 5.0% nationally. Subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 5.6% nationally, transit resides in the top 6.8% nationally, and park land lies in the top 6.9% nationally. Modeled diabetes settles in the bottom 4.6% nationally, and tooth loss stands in the bottom 3.8% nationally. On the other hand, modeled pfas is in the top 0.7% nationally, and fine-particle rests in the top 8.6% nationally.

Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, 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. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. ZIP 55327, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

Findings that name this ZIP

One of our published findings lists this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.

  • Heavy environment, light chronic burden

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 12.3; chronic-disease standing 91.9 (top 10%) — 80 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

    Ranked #17,165 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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

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.
