Judged by its overall standing, Erie, North Dakota (ZIP 58029) sits in the top 13.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,140th) and the top 5.7% of North Dakota (21st).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: household income sits in the top 4.4% nationally, modeled loneliness stands in the bottom 2.3% nationally, and modeled transportation noise resides at the national minimum. Home broadband subscription sits at the national maximum, floodplain exposure stands at the national minimum, and modeled housing insecurity resides in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Modeled food insecurity sits in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Against that, modeled fine-particle stands in the top 1.6% nationally, and unemployment resides in the top 1.7% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits in the top 3.0% nationally.
Put plainly, 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. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 58006, 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 1.42 years of 80.8, 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.
