Full methodology ›The read
Holabird, South Dakota (ZIP 57540), by its overall standing, sits in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,455th) and the bottom 43% of South Dakota (206th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: distance to a Superfund site is in the top 1.4% nationally, modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 5.3% nationally. Modeled colon screening lies in the top 3.2% nationally, and fiber broadband sits in the top 6.8% nationally. By contrast, walkability settles in the bottom 1.2% nationally, and modeled radon registers in the top 5.1% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands in the top 2.9% nationally, and unemployment lands in the top 4.4% nationally. Slow internet speeds is in the top 5.6% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, 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. 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 ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 57345, 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 2.21 years of 80.8, 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.
