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

ST91st
US99th
Definition & 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.

Elder-services access

0.94 per 1,000 residents

in the top 0.9% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST94th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities 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.

Civic-institution access

1.9 per 1,000 residents

in the top 1.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The number of civic and social organizations 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

29.3%

in the bottom 6.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST43rd
US7th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.

Full methodology ›

Distance to a Superfund site

57.4 mi

in the top 9.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST24th
US91st
Definition & 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 ›

Recreation access

0.94 per 1,000 residents

in the top 10.0% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST87th
US90th
Definition & source ›

The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — 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.

Tabor, South Dakota (ZIP 57063) ranks in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,520th) and the top 49% of South Dakota (175th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

continue reading

A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: elder services is in the top 0.9% nationally, and civic registers in the top 1.2% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled short sleep is in the bottom 6.8% nationally, distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 9.4% nationally, and recreation lies in the top 10.0% nationally. Housing-cost burden is in the bottom 10.3% nationally, and poverty registers in the bottom 12.9% nationally. On the other side, modeled radon lies in the top 1.5% nationally, and fine-particle is in the top 11.7% nationally.

Against its neighbors, elder services runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 57040, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.12 years of 79.9, 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.
