Radon
3.6 pCi/L
in the top 3.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST61stUS96thDefinition & 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 ›Distance to a community health center
41.7 mi
in the top 1.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS98thDefinition & 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 ›Distance to a Superfund site
99.3 mi
in the top 3.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST50thUS96thDefinition & 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 ›Walkability
1.5 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 4.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST45thUS5thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Outer-floodplain exposure
7.2%
in the top 5.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST88thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Short sleep
28.6%
in the bottom 4.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST26thUS5thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.
Full methodology ›Lead in tap water
7.3 ppb
in the top 5.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
US94thDefinition & source ›
The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.
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 ›Fiber broadband
98.2%
in the top 6.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST56thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Slow internet speeds

The share of homes whose fastest available download speed is under 10 Mbps.
Full methodology ›Homeownership rate

ST94thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.
Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Revillo, South Dakota (ZIP 57259) stands in the top 42% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,450th) and the bottom 36% of South Dakota (229th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 3.7% nationally, and modeled short sleep is in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Fiber broadband registers in the top 6.4% nationally, and homeownership lies in the top 6.7% nationally. Working the other way, modeled radon is in the top 3.9% nationally, distance to a community health center registers in the top 1.9% nationally, and walkability lies in the bottom 4.9% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure is in the top 5.2% nationally, lead in tap water registers in the top 5.8% nationally, and slow internet speeds lies in the top 6.4% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, 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. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. ZIP 56257, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 2.19 years of 86.8, 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.
