Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Mapleton, North Dakota (ZIP 58059) stands in the top 9.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,077th) and the top 1.1% of North Dakota (4th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: modeled food insecurity sits in the bottom 3.1% nationally, and mobility disability resides in the bottom 2.0% nationally. Modeled diabetes stands in the bottom 2.2% nationally, and stroke sits in the bottom 2.3% nationally. Modeled transportation resides in the bottom 4.4% nationally, high blood pressure stands in the bottom 3.5% nationally, and utility shutoff sits in the bottom 5.0% nationally. Working the other way, modeled binge drinking resides in the top 0.9% nationally, fine-particle stands in the top 1.5% nationally, and radon sits in the top 6.6% nationally.
For clarity, 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. Among the ZIPs nearby, none ranks healthier overall than this one.

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 0.89 years of 81.8, 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. How distance is measured
