Loneliness
27%
in the bottom 3.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST6thUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.
Full methodology ›Radon
3.2 pCi/L
in the top 7.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST76thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Short sleep
28.7%
in the bottom 4.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST23rdUS5thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.
Full methodology ›Lithium in drinking water
9.9 µg/L
in the bottom 6.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST20thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›PFAS in drinking water
8.8%
in the bottom 6.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST11thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Mammography
81.7%
in the top 4.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST97thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.
Full methodology ›Lead in tap water
5.5 ppb
in the top 8.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
US91stDefinition & source ›
The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›Housing insecurity

The estimated share of adults who experienced housing insecurity in the past 12 months.
Full methodology ›Utility shut-off threat

The estimated share of adults whose household was threatened with a utility shut-off in the past 12 months.

Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Eyota, Minnesota (ZIP 55934) comes out in the top 12.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,042nd) and the top 12.2% of Minnesota (105th).
Several readings land clearly in this area's favor and shape the picture: modeled loneliness rests in the bottom 3.1% nationally, modeled short sleep lies in the bottom 4.9% nationally, and lithium in drinking water sits in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Modeled pfas settles in the bottom 6.5% nationally, mammography registers in the top 4.7% nationally, and housing insecurity stands in the bottom 9.5% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff lands in the bottom 9.7% nationally, and food insecurity is in the bottom 11.0% nationally. Set against that, modeled radon resides in the top 7.5% nationally, and lead in tap water rests in the top 8.6% nationally.
In plain terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. 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. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 55906, 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 0.83 years of 82.6, 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. How distance is measured
