Full methodology ›The read
Nisland, South Dakota (ZIP 57762), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 37% nationally (20,080th) and the bottom 19% of South Dakota (293rd).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled air-toxics cancer risk registers in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and fiber broadband settles in the top 3.8% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 4.4% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden lies in the bottom 4.9% nationally. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas resides in the bottom 9.2% nationally. Pulling the other way, distance to a community health center is in the top 2.2% nationally, walkability lands in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and modeled radon stands in the top 10.6% nationally. Home broadband subscription registers in the bottom 9.0% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live 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 3.02 years of 85.9, 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.
