Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, New Witten, South Dakota (ZIP 57584) stands in the top 49% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,732nd) and the bottom 27% of South Dakota (262nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 1.8% nationally, and modeled mammography sits in the top 3.1% nationally. Modeled transportation noise resides in the bottom 6.2% nationally. Unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas sits in the bottom 7.4% nationally. Households without a vehicle resides at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. By contrast, walkability stands in the bottom 4.2% nationally, poverty sits in the top 5.1% nationally, and distance to a community health center resides in the top 6.7% nationally. Slow internet speeds stands in the top 7.6% nationally.
For clarity, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 57541, 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 2.41 years of 83.8, 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.
