Transportation noise

ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.
Full methodology ›Homeownership rate

at the national maximum
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.
Full methodology ›Radon
3.3 pCi/L
in the top 6.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST40thUS93rdDefinition & 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 ›Distance to a Superfund site
86.5 mi
in the top 4.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST42ndUS96thDefinition & 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 ›Housing-cost burden

Lower is healthier
ST97thUS95thDefinition & source ›

The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Outer-floodplain exposure

Lower is healthier
ST84thUS94thDefinition & 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 ›Binge drinking
20%
in the top 6.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS94thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report binge drinking — five or more drinks on one occasion for men, four or more for women.
Full methodology ›Slow internet speeds

Lower is healthier
ST82ndUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The share of homes whose fastest available download speed is under 10 Mbps.

Full methodology ›The read
Rutland, South Dakota (ZIP 57057), by its composite score, sits in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,434th) and the top 22% of South Dakota (78th).
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: modeled transportation noise is at the national minimum, and homeownership lands at the national maximum. Distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 4.5% nationally, and fiber broadband registers in the top 5.9% nationally. Unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled radon sits in the top 6.7% nationally, housing-cost burden lies in the top 5.3% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure rests in the top 6.2% nationally. Modeled binge drinking resides in the top 6.2% nationally, and slow internet speeds is in the top 7.6% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels.

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 3.61 years of 86.5, 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.
