What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Elder-services access
0.98 per 1,000 residents
in the top 0.8% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST90thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities 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.
Full methodology ›Distance to a Superfund site
137.3 mi
in the top 2.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST29thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.
Full methodology ›Loneliness
27.2%
in the bottom 3.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST37thUS4thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.
Full methodology ›Floodplain exposure
50.2%
in the top 4.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Fiber broadband
98.7%
in the top 5.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST68thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Binge drinking
20.2%
in the top 5.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST63rdUS95thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report binge drinking — five or more drinks on one occasion for men, four or more for women.
Full methodology ›Radon
3.1 pCi/L
in the top 8.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST35thUS91stDefinition & source ›
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.
Full methodology ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the bottom 7.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST38thUS7thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›Physician access
2 per 1,000 residents
in the top 7.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST98thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The number of physicians’ offices located 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.
Full methodology ›Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance
1.1%
in the top 7.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST26thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.
Full methodology ›The read
Drayton, North Dakota (ZIP 58225), overall, ranks in the top 37% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,911th) and the bottom 35% of North Dakota (240th).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: elder services resides in the top 0.8% nationally, distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 2.1% nationally, and modeled loneliness is in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Fiber broadband sits in the top 5.3% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 7.2% nationally, and physicians lies in the top 7.5% nationally. On the other side, floodplain exposure stands in the top 4.0% nationally, and modeled binge drinking rests in the top 5.5% nationally. Modeled radon registers in the top 8.7% nationally, and fine-particle resides in the top 7.9% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, elder services runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. ZIP 56728, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 1.36 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
