What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Child-care access
1.8 per 1,000 residents
in the top 0.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST94thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of child day-care services inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Radon
3.5 pCi/L
in the top 4.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST84thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Loneliness
27%
in the bottom 3.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST30thUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.
Full methodology ›Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance
2.4%
in the top 3.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST77thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.
Full methodology ›Distance to a Superfund site
103.7 mi
in the top 3.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST16thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.
Full methodology ›Slow internet speeds
2.1%
in the top 5.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST70thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes whose fastest available download speed is under 10 Mbps.
Full methodology ›Outer-floodplain exposure
5.3%
in the top 6.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Transportation noise
0.09%
in the bottom 8.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST24thUS8thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 55 decibels — a noticeable background presence.
Full methodology ›Fiber broadband

Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Hope, North Dakota (ZIP 58046) stands in the top 33% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,456th) and the bottom 49% of North Dakota (191st).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: childcare is in the top 0.5% nationally, and modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 3.5% nationally. Households without a vehicle is at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise registers in the bottom 8.1% nationally, and fiber broadband lies in the top 8.4% nationally. By contrast, modeled radon is in the top 4.6% nationally, modeled fine-particle registers in the top 3.4% nationally, and slow internet speeds lies in the top 5.6% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure is in the top 6.9% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. ZIP 58016, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 2.07 years of 83.9, 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.
