Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Grandin, North Dakota (ZIP 58038) lands in the top 12.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,027th) and the top 4.9% of North Dakota (18th).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled loneliness rests in the bottom 1.5% nationally, and transportation is in the bottom 2.2% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff stands in the bottom 2.3% nationally, and housing insecurity settles in the bottom 2.4% nationally. Modeled food insecurity lies in the bottom 2.6% nationally, modeled mammography resides in the top 3.1% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 5.8% nationally. Against that, modeled fine-particle registers in the top 2.0% nationally, loud transportation noise sits in the top 4.3% nationally, and radon rests in the top 7.6% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 58048, 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 1.66 years of 80.2, 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. How distance is measured
