Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Blanchard, North Dakota (ZIP 58009) lands in the top 13.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,321st) and the top 6.8% of North Dakota (25th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled loneliness stands in the bottom 0.07% nationally, modeled housing insecurity rests in the bottom 0.8% nationally, and fiber broadband registers at the national maximum. Modeled transportation resides in the bottom 1.0% nationally, food insecurity settles in the bottom 1.3% nationally, and utility shutoff is in the bottom 1.6% nationally. Housing-cost burden sits at the national minimum, and modeled transportation noise lands at the national minimum. On the other side, modeled radon lies in the top 3.0% nationally, and fine-particle stands in the top 2.3% nationally.
Put simply, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. On the overall standing, ZIP 58038, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 3.42 years of 79.4, 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.
