Full methodology ›The read
Aneta, North Dakota (ZIP 58212) ranks in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,561st) and the top 37% of North Dakota (138th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled loneliness is in the bottom 1.5% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 2.3% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity lies in the bottom 6.0% nationally, and utility shutoff is in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Modeled transportation registers in the bottom 7.6% nationally, modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 7.8% nationally, and fiber broadband is in the top 8.6% nationally. On the other side, modeled radon registers in the top 5.7% nationally, slow internet speeds lies in the top 4.0% nationally, and modeled fine-particle is in the top 5.0% nationally.
Against its neighbors, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. 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. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 58266, 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 0.85 years of 78.5, 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.
