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.

Distance to a Superfund site

170.9 mi

in the top 1.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST95th
US99th
Definition & 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 ›

Radon

3.4 pCi/L

in the top 5.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST47th
US94th
Definition & 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 ›

Energy-cost burden

5.9%

in the top 3.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST89th
US97th
Definition & 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 ›

Walkability

1.4 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 4.2% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST36th
US4th
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Full methodology ›

Poverty rate

1.4%

in the bottom 5.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST10th
US6th
Definition & source ›

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

Full methodology ›

Housing-cost burden

6.3%

in the bottom 5.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

US6th
Definition & source ›

The share of households spending 30% or more of their income on housing.

Full methodology ›

Short sleep

29.8%

in the bottom 8.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST57th
US9th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.

Full methodology ›

Distance to a nursing home

11.1 mi

in the top 9.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST78th
US91st
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Medicare- or Medicaid-certified nursing home.

Full methodology ›

$120,250

in the top 9.6% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST98th
US90th
Definition & source ›

The middle household income in this ZIP — half of households earn more, half earn less — in dollars per year.

Full methodology ›

Arsenic in groundwater

9.6%

in the top 18% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST97th
US82nd
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.

A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

The read

In its overall standing, Northville, South Dakota (ZIP 57465) lands in the top 41% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,017th) and the bottom 38% of South Dakota (222nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.

continue reading

Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 1.4% nationally, poverty settles in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and housing-cost burden is in the bottom 5.9% 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. Modeled short sleep lies in the bottom 8.8% nationally. On the other side, modeled radon stands in the top 5.6% nationally, and energy burden rests in the top 3.3% nationally. Walkability registers in the bottom 4.2% nationally, and distance to a nursing home resides in the top 9.1% nationally.

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. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. On the overall standing, ZIP 57424, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 2.22 years of 83.3, 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.
