Energy-cost burden

Lower is healthier
ST96thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

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.

On balance, and by the composite measure, Gann Valley, South Dakota (ZIP 57341) ranks in the bottom 9.2% nationally (29,135th) and the bottom 10.0% of South Dakota (324th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: modeled energy burden sits in the top 0.9% nationally, and hearing disability rests in the top 1.0% nationally. Walkability is in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease stands in the top 1.4% nationally. Modeled radon settles in the top 3.8% nationally, tooth loss lies in the top 4.5% nationally, and stroke resides in the top 5.3% nationally. On the encouraging side, distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 1.9% nationally, poverty registers at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription sits at the national maximum.
In plainer terms, 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. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills.

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 75.0, 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.
