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.
Radon
4.1 pCi/L
in the top 1.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST91stUS99thDefinition & 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 ›Pharmacy access
0.96 per 1,000 residents
in the top 1.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST98thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of pharmacies located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Short sleep
28.4%
in the bottom 4.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST21stUS4thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.
Full methodology ›Fiber broadband
98.8%
in the top 5.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST65thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Outer-floodplain exposure
5.9%
in the top 6.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST83rdUS94thDefinition & 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 ›Distance to a Superfund site
60.8 mi
in the top 8.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST26thUS92ndDefinition & 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 ›Households without a vehicle
11.1%
in the top 12.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS88thDefinition & source ›
The share of households with no vehicle available.
Full methodology ›Natural-disaster risk
in the top 13.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS86thDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.
Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Menno, South Dakota (ZIP 57045) places in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,921st) and the top 45% of South Dakota (161st).
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: pharmacy lands in the top 1.1% nationally, and modeled short sleep stands in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Fiber broadband registers in the top 5.1% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 8.5% nationally. Housing-cost burden sits in the bottom 10.1% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 10.9% nationally. On the other side, modeled radon rests in the top 1.5% nationally, outer-floodplain exposure resides in the top 6.4% nationally, and distance to a community health center is in the top 11.5% nationally. Modeled fine-particle lands in the top 11.7% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 57029, 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 1.09 years of 82.7, 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.
