Distance to a community health center

in the top 1.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST96thUS99thDefinition & 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 ›Radon
3.6 pCi/L
in the top 4.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST59thUS96thDefinition & 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 ›The read
Stockholm, South Dakota (ZIP 57264), overall, ranks in the top 43% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,936th) and the bottom 34% of South Dakota (236th).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 3.3% nationally, fiber broadband resides in the top 4.6% nationally, and modeled short sleep settles in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Housing-cost burden is in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and modeled disaster risk sits in the bottom 9.7% nationally. On the other side, distance to a community health center lands in the top 1.0% nationally, and modeled radon lies in the top 4.1% nationally. Crowded housing stands in the top 2.9% nationally, and walkability rests in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Modeled fine-particle registers in the top 6.9% nationally.
Defined simply, 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. ZIP 57246, just across the boundary, comes out healthier 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 2.41 years of 83.9, 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.
