Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Longville, Minnesota (ZIP 56655) sits in the top 49% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,835th) and the bottom 21% of Minnesota (680th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled loneliness rests in the bottom 0.2% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 1.9% nationally, and modeled colon screening registers in the top 2.5% nationally. Childcare lands in the top 5.8% nationally, and modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 6.4% nationally. On the other hand, distance to a community health center lies in the top 1.2% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease settles in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled hearing disability stands in the top 4.2% nationally, and fine-particle is in the top 3.8% nationally. Distance to an emergency room rests in the top 4.4% nationally.
In plain language, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 56474, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.41 years of 81.1, 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.
