Shakopee, Minnesota (ZIP 55379), by its overall standing, sits in the top 15% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,884th) and the top 15% of Minnesota (131st).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled high cholesterol sits in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Distance to an emergency room settles at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled coronary heart disease registers in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and short sleep stands in the bottom 9.2% nationally. Modeled stroke lands in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and hearing disability is in the bottom 9.0% nationally. Modeled mobility disability resides in the bottom 8.7% nationally. By contrast, modeled disaster risk rests in the top 0.4% nationally, and expected annual loss lies in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled fine-particle sits in the top 10.5% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, 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 nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 55315, 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 0.60 years of 80.7, 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
