Full methodology ›The read
Upsala, Minnesota (ZIP 56384), on the composite measure, lands in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,423rd) and the bottom 41% of Minnesota (512th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: fiber broadband lands at the national maximum, modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Working the other way, distance to a community health center stands in the top 1.0% nationally, and home broadband subscription is in the bottom 3.7% nationally. Households without a vehicle rests in the top 5.0% nationally, and modeled fine-particle sits in the top 5.6% nationally. Homeownership registers in the bottom 8.4% nationally, and distance to a nursing home lands in the top 9.1% nationally.
In everyday language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 56340, 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 1.59 years of 85.3, 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.
