In its overall standing, Ree Heights, South Dakota (ZIP 57371) lands in the top 18% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,927th) and the top 11.4% of South Dakota (41st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 1.4% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 3.2% nationally. Unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle lands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Poverty lies in the bottom 8.2% nationally, and fiber broadband stands in the top 8.4% nationally. On the other side, walkability rests in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and modeled radon registers in the top 5.0% nationally. Slow internet speeds resides in the top 3.6% nationally, and modeled fine-particle settles in the top 11.7% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 57501, about 24 miles away, ranks healthier.

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 3.82 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.
