Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Kinney, Minnesota (ZIP 55758) places in the top 30% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,604th) and the top 40% of Minnesota (348th).
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 1.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure settles at the national minimum. Modeled humid heat sits in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and high cholesterol lies in the bottom 4.9% nationally. Modeled transportation noise rests in the bottom 7.3% nationally. Unemployment resides at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site is in the top 8.4% nationally. On the other side, distance to an emergency room lands in the top 4.3% nationally, modeled fine-particle stands in the top 4.8% nationally, and modeled binge drinking registers in the top 5.5% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these 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. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 55768, 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 0.70 years of 78.4, 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.
