Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Schroeder, Minnesota (ZIP 55613) sits in the top 11.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,743rd) and the top 10.8% of Minnesota (93rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 0.6% nationally, modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 0.7% nationally, and park land sits in the top 1.4% nationally. Home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum, modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and modeled loneliness sits in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Modeled short sleep stands in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and pfas resides in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Against that, distance to an emergency room sits in the top 2.2% nationally, and distance to a nursing home stands in the top 4.8% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 55615, 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 2.01 years of 81.1, 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.
