By the composite health measure, Brandon, South Dakota (ZIP 57005) ranks in the top 9.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,959th) and the top 1.7% of South Dakota (6th).
The measures that set this area apart are worth putting up front: fiber broadband sits in the top 2.8% nationally, and modeled short sleep is in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Poverty settles in the bottom 5.8% nationally, and modeled fair or poor health resides in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Modeled mobility disability registers in the bottom 6.5% nationally, and tooth loss rests in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Set against that, modeled binge drinking stands in the top 3.5% nationally, radon lies in the top 7.3% nationally, and expected annual loss lands in the top 6.3% nationally. Modeled fine-particle sits in the top 8.6% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Close by, ZIP 57108, 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 1.08 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. How distance is measured
