Overall, Java, South Dakota (ZIP 57452) lands in the top 47% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,120th) and the bottom 29% of South Dakota (255th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of measures pull each way for this area: modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 0.5% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 1.4% nationally. Modeled short sleep rests in the bottom 2.2% nationally, and fiber broadband stands in the top 5.5% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 8.8% nationally. Set against that, unemployment lands in the top 1.1% nationally, distance to a community health center sits in the top 2.9% nationally, and modeled hearing disability is in the top 5.6% nationally. Walkability settles in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and slow internet speeds resides in the top 8.4% nationally.
A note on the terms: industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 57428, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 82.2, 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.
