Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Roscoe, Minnesota (ZIP 56371) lands in the top 40% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,808th) and the bottom 39% of Minnesota (531st).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled disaster risk lies in the bottom 2.7% nationally, and expected annual loss stands in the bottom 3.9% nationally. Households without a vehicle rests at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 10.3% nationally. On the other side, modeled pfas resides in the top 1.5% nationally, and distance to a community health center settles in the top 4.2% nationally. Modeled tree cover is at the national minimum, and slow internet speeds sits in the top 5.8% nationally. Modeled fine-particle lands in the top 6.9% nationally, and poverty lies in the top 9.5% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. On the overall standing, ZIP 56362, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.49 years of 83.7, 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.
