Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Okreek, South Dakota (ZIP 57563) stands in the bottom 2.4% nationally (31,300th) and the bottom 6.4% of South Dakota (337th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of readings press hard on the profile and set its tone: modeled independent living disability stands in the top 0.4% nationally, and vision disability sits in the top 1.0% nationally. Modeled tooth loss resides in the top 1.0% nationally, and cognitive disability stands in the top 0.7% nationally. Poverty sits in the top 0.8% nationally, modeled energy burden resides in the top 2.0% nationally, and modeled fair or poor health stands in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled self-care disability sits in the top 4.1% nationally. On the brighter side, housing-cost burden resides at the national minimum, and distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 2.0% nationally.
For clarity, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. ZIP 57580, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.96 years of 76.1, 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.
