On the composite measure, Trail City, South Dakota (ZIP 57657) stands in the bottom 5.6% nationally (30,294th) and the bottom 8.7% of South Dakota (329th).
Plainly, the numbers point to a handful of defining readings: walkability registers in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and unemployment lies in the top 1.3% nationally. Slow internet speeds is in the top 1.7% nationally, and distance to a nursing home registers in the top 2.1% nationally. Modeled independent living disability lies in the top 3.9% nationally, crowded housing is in the top 2.3% nationally, and households without a vehicle registers in the top 2.9% nationally. Modeled vision disability lies in the top 5.3% nationally. On the brighter side, modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 0.2% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 2.1% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, 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. ZIP 57601, 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.
