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
3.9 pCi/L
in the top 2.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST79thUS98thDefinition & 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
0.72 per 1,000 residents
in the top 2.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST94thUS98thDefinition & 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
28.1%
in the bottom 3.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST15thUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.
Full methodology ›Lithium in drinking water
64 µg/L
in the top 7.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST79thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.
Full methodology ›Distance to a community health center
19.2 mi
in the top 8.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST62ndUS91stDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.
Full methodology ›Walkability
2.3 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 9.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST63rdUS9thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Viborg, South Dakota (ZIP 57070) comes out in the top 37% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,992nd) and the bottom 46% of South Dakota (193rd).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: pharmacy settles in the top 2.2% nationally, and modeled short sleep registers in the bottom 3.3% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home is at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled radon resides in the top 2.4% nationally, and lithium in drinking water rests in the top 7.9% nationally. Distance to a community health center lies in the top 8.7% nationally, and walkability sits in the bottom 9.3% nationally. Modeled fine-particle settles in the top 10.5% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 57014, 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 1.01 years of 80.4, 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.
