Full methodology ›The read
St. Martin, Minnesota (ZIP 56376) ranks in the top 37% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,862nd) and the bottom 44% of Minnesota (482nd).
The strongest marks in the data are worth naming first: modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 3.1% nationally, and floodplain exposure stands at the national minimum. Modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and transportation noise resides in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol stands in the bottom 6.8% nationally, and high blood pressure sits in the bottom 7.7% nationally. On the other side, distance to a community health center resides in the top 3.6% nationally, modeled binge drinking stands in the top 5.8% nationally, and modeled fine-particle sits in the top 6.9% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 56362, 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 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.
