In overall standing, Ayr, North Dakota (ZIP 58007) comes out in the top 15% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,814th) and the top 9.5% of North Dakota (35th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 2.3% nationally, transportation stands in the bottom 2.6% nationally, and housing insecurity lands in the bottom 2.9% nationally. Floodplain exposure is at the national minimum, modeled utility shutoff resides in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and modeled food insecurity rests in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 4.3% nationally. By contrast, modeled fine-particle sits in the top 2.0% nationally, and distance to a nursing home settles in the top 2.9% nationally. Distance to an emergency room registers in the top 4.5% nationally.
In plain terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 58004, just across the boundary.

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 1.14 years of 81.1, 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.
