In overall standing, Draper, South Dakota (ZIP 57531) comes out in the top 37% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,977th) and the bottom 47% of South Dakota (192nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several good marks anchor the profile and deserve first mention: distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 2.7% nationally, modeled short sleep settles in the bottom 2.4% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands in the top 9.8% nationally, modeled pfas lands in the bottom 10.4% nationally, and modeled mammography is in the top 8.3% nationally. By contrast, walkability resides in the bottom 3.5% nationally, and modeled hearing disability rests in the top 6.5% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lies in the top 6.8% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease sits in the top 8.3% nationally.
In plain terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 57532, 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

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.
