Distance to a Superfund site
125.9 mi
in the top 2.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST71stUS98thDefinition & 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
1.3 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 4.0% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST34thUS4thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Lithium in drinking water
87 µg/L
in the top 4.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS96thDefinition & source ›
The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
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 ›Radon
3.2 pCi/L
in the top 7.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST36thUS93rdDefinition & 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 ›Homeownership rate
98%
in the top 5.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST95thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.
Full methodology ›Crowded housing
8.6%
in the top 6.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST90thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The share of occupied homes with more than one person per room, the Census definition of crowded housing.
Full methodology ›Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance
1.5%
in the top 6.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST97thUS94thDefinition & 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 ›Poverty rate

The share of residents whose income is below the federal poverty line, from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

Full methodology ›The read
Claremont, South Dakota (ZIP 57432), overall, ranks in the top 21% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,829th) and the top 16% of South Dakota (57th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 2.5% nationally, homeownership rests in the top 5.7% nationally, and poverty registers in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Unemployment resides at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled short sleep settles in the bottom 6.8% nationally. On the other side, walkability is in the bottom 4.0% nationally, and lithium in drinking water sits in the top 4.0% nationally. Modeled radon lands in the top 7.5% nationally, and crowded housing lies in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled fine-particle stands in the top 6.1% nationally.
Defined simply, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. ZIP 57433, 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

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.
