Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Long Lake, South Dakota (ZIP 57457) ranks in the bottom 47% nationally (16,897th) and the bottom 23% of South Dakota (277th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of measures mark where this area is under strain: walkability sits in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and distance to a community health center is in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled hearing disability settles in the top 3.5% nationally, and coronary heart disease resides in the top 3.3% nationally. Modeled radon registers in the top 6.6% nationally. On the brighter side, fiber broadband rests at the national maximum, distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 1.5% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lies at the national minimum. Household income lands in the top 5.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden sits in the bottom 4.0% nationally.
To spell things out, 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Close by, ZIP 57456, 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 2.45 years of 80.4, 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.
