Overall, Vining, Minnesota (ZIP 56588) places in the top 41% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,127th) and the bottom 36% of Minnesota (552nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 8.6% nationally, and homeownership settles in the top 8.9% nationally. Modeled short sleep sits in the bottom 9.7% nationally, and colon screening lies in the top 7.0% nationally. Poverty rests in the bottom 10.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, distance to a community health center is in the top 0.3% nationally, modeled fine-particle lands in the top 3.1% nationally, and distance to an emergency room stands in the top 6.9% nationally. Modeled radon registers in the top 15% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 56315, 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 0.84 years of 81.3, 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.
