On the composite measure, ZIP 55435, one of several in Edina, Minnesota stands in the top 4.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,397th) and the top 3.5% of Minnesota (30th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: physicians stands in the top 0.5% nationally, and dental providers sits in the top 0.7% nationally. Outpatient resides in the top 0.8% nationally, and modeled short sleep stands in the bottom 0.5% nationally. Modeled obesity sits in the bottom 3.8% nationally, transit resides in the top 2.7% nationally, and mental-health providers stands in the top 3.8% nationally. Subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 4.6% nationally, and modeled utility shutoff resides in the bottom 5.0% nationally. Working the other way, PFAS in drinking water stands at the national maximum.
Set beside the wider area around it, physicians runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. ZIP 55410, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.70 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
