Overall, Raymond, South Dakota (ZIP 57258) lands in the top 50% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,882nd) and the bottom 26% of South Dakota (266th).
What defines this place in the numbers is worth naming first: slow internet speeds lands in the top 1.1% nationally, and crowded housing sits in the top 2.6% nationally. Distance to an emergency room is in the top 2.9% nationally, and households without a vehicle settles in the top 3.2% nationally. Modeled radon resides in the top 6.5% nationally, distance to a community health center registers in the top 4.4% nationally, and poverty rests in the top 4.6% nationally. Walkability stands in the bottom 4.8% nationally. More encouragingly, distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 1.8% nationally, and housing-cost burden lands in the bottom 4.0% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 57225, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

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 1.06 years of 81.0, 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.
