The read

On the data available so far, for Saint Charles, South Dakota (ZIP 57571), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.

Several of the measures in hand are worth setting out: distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 3.3% nationally, and modeled disaster risk lies in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Households without a vehicle is at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. On the other side, distance to a community health center registers in the top 1.7% nationally, slow internet speeds lies in the top 2.4% nationally, and modeled nitrate is in the top 3.2% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers in the top 4.1% nationally, unemployment lies in the top 7.6% nationally, and housing-cost burden is in the top 8.4% nationally. Modeled fine-particle registers in the top 8.6% nationally.

Against its neighbors, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake.

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 1.81 years of 78.6, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
