Full methodology ›The read
Sinai, South Dakota (ZIP 57061), by its composite score, sits in the top 13.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,177th) and the top 3.7% of South Dakota (13th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: fiber broadband lies at the national maximum, and modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 1.7% nationally. Modeled transportation noise resides at the national minimum, and expected annual loss is in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 3.7% nationally, modeled colon screening stands in the top 2.1% nationally, and modeled mammography registers in the top 2.6% nationally. Modeled short sleep settles in the bottom 5.5% nationally, and poverty sits in the bottom 6.6% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled fine-particle lies in the top 6.9% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 57016, about 21 miles away.

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 2.42 years of 86.3, 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.
