Full methodology ›The read
New York Mills, Minnesota (ZIP 56567), by its overall standing, sits in the top 46% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,803rd) and the bottom 25% of Minnesota (646th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 4.4% nationally, modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 7.7% nationally, and fiber broadband stands in the top 13.4% nationally. Modeled short sleep lands in the bottom 14.5% nationally, pharmacy is in the top 15% nationally, and modeled colon screening resides in the top 13.7% nationally. By contrast, distance to a community health center rests in the top 0.5% nationally, and modeled fine-particle lies in the top 2.7% nationally. Modeled transportation noise sits in the top 7.8% nationally, and radon settles in the top 13.2% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 56518, 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 0.76 years of 80.2, 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.
