New Auburn, Minnesota (ZIP 55366), in overall standing, comes out in the top 29% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,416th) and the top 39% of Minnesota (335th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures that most flatter this area set the tone for the rest: modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 2.9% nationally, modeled expected annual loss is in the bottom 4.8% nationally, and fiber broadband lies in the top 7.2% nationally. Poverty registers in the bottom 9.2% nationally, and modeled loneliness is in the bottom 10.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Against that, distance to a community health center registers in the top 4.2% nationally, and modeled binge drinking is in the top 5.2% nationally. Crowded housing lies in the top 7.8% nationally, and modeled fine-particle registers in the top 11.7% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 55350, about 8.3 miles away.

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 1.93 years of 85.8, 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.
