The read

With only part of the picture in hand, for Dahlen, North Dakota (ZIP 58224), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.

Where the data does reach, it says a few things here: fiber broadband registers at the national maximum, distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 1.8% nationally, and housing-cost burden resides at the national minimum. Modeled transportation noise lies at the national minimum, poverty settles at the national minimum, and homeownership stands at the national maximum. Home broadband subscription is at the national maximum, and modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Set against that, lead in tap water sits in the top 2.1% nationally, and modeled fine-particle registers in the top 4.9% nationally.

In plain language, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake.

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 1.29 years of 77.6, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
