The estimated share of adults who report binge drinking — five or more drinks on one occasion for men, four or more for women.

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.

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.

Kindred, North Dakota (ZIP 58051), by its overall standing, sits in the top 11.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,719th) and the top 3.0% of North Dakota (11th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: childcare stands in the top 1.5% nationally, fiber broadband lands in the top 4.3% nationally, and dental providers is in the top 4.6% nationally. Modeled food insecurity resides in the bottom 4.7% nationally, modeled transportation rests in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and outpatient lies in the top 5.7% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff sits in the bottom 5.7% nationally. By contrast, modeled binge drinking settles in the top 1.5% nationally, and fine-particle registers in the top 1.7% nationally. Modeled radon stands in the top 7.4% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain 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. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 58047, 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 1.08 years of 80.3, 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
