On balance, and by the composite measure, ZIP 58105, one of several in Fargo, North Dakota ranks in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,831st) and the top 30% of North Dakota (111th).
The measures split the difference for this area: modeled hearing disability is in the bottom 0.6% nationally, and housing-cost burden stands at the national minimum. Fatal road crashes settles at the national minimum, and modeled self-care disability lies in the bottom 0.4% nationally. Against that, modeled binge drinking resides in the top 0.3% nationally, outer-floodplain exposure lands in the top 0.08% nationally, and crowded housing registers in the top 0.10% nationally. Slow internet speeds sits in the top 0.7% nationally, modeled colon screening rests in the bottom 2.7% nationally, and modeled fine-particle is in the top 1.4% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 58103, about 1.0 miles away.

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

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
