By the composite measure, Warba, Minnesota (ZIP 55793) sits in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,629th) and the bottom 45% of Minnesota (472nd).
What works most in this area's favor shows up clearly across the measures: modeled short sleep registers in the bottom 1.9% nationally, modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and fiber broadband resides in the top 6.3% nationally. Modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 6.7% nationally, distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 10.5% nationally, and modeled colon screening stands in the top 11.0% nationally. Working the other way, modeled fine-particle is in the top 5.8% nationally, and energy burden rests in the top 7.5% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits in the top 9.9% nationally, and walkability registers in the bottom 10.5% nationally.
In plain language, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 55709, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.14 years of 79.6, 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.
