What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Radon
4 pCi/L
in the top 2.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST83rdUS98thDefinition & 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 Superfund site
105.5 mi
in the top 3.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST56thUS97thDefinition & 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
1.2 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 3.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST30thUS4thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Fiber broadband
99.3%
in the top 4.0% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST74thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Short sleep
28.8%
in the bottom 5.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST32ndUS5thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.
Full methodology ›Lead in tap water
6.3 ppb
in the top 7.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
US93rdDefinition & 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 ›Pharmacy access
0.37 per 1,000 residents
in the top 9.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST83rdUS91stDefinition & source ›
The number of pharmacies located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance
1.1%
in the top 9.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST66thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.
Full methodology ›Expected annual disaster loss
$0
in the top 11.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS88thDefinition & source ›
FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.
Full methodology ›Dry extreme heat
31.2 days/year
in the top 14.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS85thDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.
Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Platte, South Dakota (ZIP 57369) ranks in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,587th) and the bottom 41% of South Dakota (211th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 3.4% nationally, and fiber broadband registers in the top 4.0% nationally. Distance to an emergency room rests at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled short sleep stands in the bottom 5.2% nationally, and pharmacy lies in the top 9.4% nationally. On the other side, modeled radon lands in the top 2.1% nationally, walkability sits in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and lead in tap water is in the top 7.2% nationally. Modeled fine-particle settles in the top 9.4% nationally, and distance to a community health center resides in the top 10.1% nationally.
To spell things out, 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. Close by, ZIP 57383, just across the boundary, ranks 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 1.43 years of 81.7, 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.
