What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Distance to a Superfund site
110.8 mi
in the top 3.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.
Full methodology ›Radon
3.4 pCi/L
in the top 5.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST84thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance
1.5%
in the top 6.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST71stUS94thDefinition & source ›
The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.
Full methodology ›Households without a vehicle
14.0%
in the top 8.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The share of households with no vehicle available.
Full methodology ›Short sleep
29.7%
in the bottom 8.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST40thUS8thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.
Full methodology ›Poverty rate
2.7%
in the bottom 8.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST5thUS9thDefinition & source ›
The share of residents whose income is below the federal poverty line, from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.
Full methodology ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the bottom 9.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST12thUS9thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›Loneliness
28.4%
in the bottom 9.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST25thUS10thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.
Full methodology ›Walkability
2.4 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 10.0% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST10thUS10thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Outer-floodplain exposure
2.9%
in the top 11.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS89thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›The read
Argyle, Minnesota (ZIP 56713), in overall standing, comes out in the top 42% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,601st) and the bottom 34% of Minnesota (574th).
The measures that most flatter this area set the tone for the rest: distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 3.1% nationally, modeled short sleep sits in the bottom 8.3% nationally, and poverty stands in the bottom 8.8% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 9.2% nationally, loneliness sits in the bottom 9.6% nationally, and humid heat stands in the bottom 11.1% nationally. Against that, modeled radon resides in the top 5.9% nationally, and fine-particle sits in the top 6.1% nationally. Households without a vehicle stands in the top 8.3% nationally, and walkability resides in the bottom 10.0% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 56744, 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 1.58 years of 85.0, 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.
