More than one environmental exposure stands out in this ZIP. Each is established independently and shown on its own above; they are grouped here for context — not because one causes the other.

The read

Judged by its overall standing, Galesburg, North Dakota (ZIP 58035) sits in the top 15.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,801st) and the top 9.2% of North Dakota (34th).

continue reading

An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 0.3% nationally, transportation rests in the bottom 2.2% nationally, and transportation noise settles at the national minimum. Modeled food insecurity lands in the bottom 2.6% nationally, modeled housing insecurity rests in the bottom 2.6% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 4.1% nationally. Fiber broadband lands in the top 4.3% nationally, and modeled utility shutoff rests in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Against that, modeled fine-particle settles in the top 2.1% nationally, and distance to a community health center lands in the top 4.1% nationally.

Placed beside its immediate neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 58009, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.36 years of 81.0, 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.
