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.
Energy-cost burden
7.0%
in the top 1.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS99thDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›Radon
3.8 pCi/L
in the top 3.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST70thUS97thDefinition & 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
180 mi
in the top 1.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST98thUS99thDefinition & 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 ›Fiber broadband
99.1%
in the top 4.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST69thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Walkability
1.5 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 5.0% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST46thUS5thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Short sleep
29.4%
in the bottom 7.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST46thUS7thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.
Full methodology ›Distance to a community health center
20.6 mi
in the top 7.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST64thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.
Full methodology ›Transportation noise
0.10%
in the bottom 8.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST14thUS8thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.
Full methodology ›Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance
0.93%
in the top 9.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST63rdUS90thDefinition & 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 ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Cresbard, South Dakota (ZIP 57435) sits in the bottom 40% nationally (19,351st) and the bottom 20% of South Dakota (289th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A demanding profile, and several measures drive it: modeled energy burden stands in the top 1.2% nationally, modeled radon resides in the top 3.1% nationally, and walkability sits in the bottom 5.0% nationally. Distance to a community health center stands in the top 7.8% nationally, and modeled fine-particle resides in the top 9.8% nationally. On the stronger side, distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 1.3% nationally, and fiber broadband stands in the top 4.6% nationally. Modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 7.1% nationally. Households without a vehicle sits at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise stands in the bottom 8.3% nationally.
Put plainly, 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. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 57451, 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 1.36 years of 82.5, 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.
