What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Grocery access

1.6 per 1,000 residents

in the top 0.09% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

Child-care access

1.6 per 1,000 residents

in the top 0.6% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST98th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The number of child day-care services inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Industrial-pollution burden

in the bottom 0.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST3rd
US1st
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

Full methodology ›

Distance to a Superfund site

175.8 mi

in the top 1.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST97th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.

Full methodology ›

Civic-institution access

1.6 per 1,000 residents

in the top 1.7% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST96th
US98th
Definition & source ›

The number of civic and social organizations inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Distance to a community health center

42 mi

in the top 1.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST93rd
US98th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.

Walkability

0.92 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 2.3% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST20th
US2nd
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Full methodology ›

Fiber broadband

99.4%

in the top 3.9% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST75th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.

Full methodology ›

Short sleep

28.1%

in the bottom 3.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST15th
US3rd
Definition & source ›

Full methodology ›

Radon

3.1 pCi/L

in the top 8.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST33rd
US91st
Definition & source ›

The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.

Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

The read

On balance, and by the composite measure, Herreid, South Dakota (ZIP 57632) ranks in the top 33% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,563rd) and the top 43% of South Dakota (154th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

The measures split the difference for this area: grocery stands in the top 0.09% nationally, and childcare settles in the top 0.6% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 1.4% nationally. Civic lands in the top 1.7% nationally, fiber broadband registers in the top 3.9% nationally, and modeled short sleep sits in the bottom 3.3% nationally. Against that, distance to a community health center rests in the top 1.9% nationally, walkability is in the bottom 2.3% nationally, and modeled radon stands in the top 8.6% nationally.

Compared with the ZIPs it borders, grocery runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 57646, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.96 years of 81.6, 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.
