The measures that define the ground here come first: walkability rests in the bottom 0.7% nationally, and distance to an emergency room is in the top 1.5% nationally. Modeled hearing disability stands in the top 4.8% nationally, and slow internet speeds settles in the top 4.5% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lies in the top 4.8% nationally, modeled self-care disability resides in the top 7.4% nationally, and modeled independent living disability lands in the top 7.1% nationally. On the stronger side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the bottom 2.8% nationally, distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 4.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 6.1% nationally.

To translate a couple of terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 57626, 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 1.40 years of 80.6, 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.
