ZIP 57104, one of several in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in overall standing, comes out in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,308th) and the bottom 28% of South Dakota (258th).
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: subsidized affordable housing is in the top 2.0% nationally, civic lies in the top 5.2% nationally, and transit registers in the top 6.3% nationally. Elder services is in the top 7.8% nationally. On the other hand, modeled transportation noise lies in the top 1.2% nationally, and expected annual loss registers in the top 2.2% nationally. Modeled disaster risk is in the top 4.2% nationally, and homeownership lies in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Modeled binge drinking registers in the top 7.4% nationally, and fine-particle is in the top 9.1% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 57005, 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 0.76 years of 74.4, 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.
