Radon

ST85thUS98thDefinition & 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.

Miller, South Dakota (ZIP 57362), on the composite measure, lands in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,949th) and the top 26% of South Dakota (92nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 1.7% nationally, childcare resides in the top 2.4% nationally, and modeled short sleep lies in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Pharmacy settles in the top 5.3% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 7.3% nationally, and physicians rests in the top 7.5% nationally. Outpatient sits in the top 8.1% nationally. Working the other way, modeled radon registers in the top 1.9% nationally, and walkability lands in the bottom 2.3% nationally.
In everyday language, 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. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 57371, 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 1.58 years of 80.9, 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.
