Full methodology ›The read
Pease, Minnesota (ZIP 56363), overall, ranks in the top 40% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,815th) and the bottom 39% of Minnesota (532nd).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled transportation noise is at the national minimum, disaster risk sits in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and expected annual loss lands in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Home broadband subscription lies in the top 8.6% nationally, and modeled mammography stands in the top 7.8% nationally. On the other side, distance to a community health center rests in the top 2.0% nationally, and modeled binge drinking registers in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled pfas resides in the top 6.6% nationally, and fine-particle settles in the top 6.9% nationally. Fiber broadband is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Defined simply, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. ZIP 55371, about 0.8 miles away, comes out 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 0.70 years of 77.3, 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.
