Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Edinburg, North Dakota (ZIP 58227) lands in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,502nd) and the bottom 38% of North Dakota (230th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: modeled loneliness stands in the bottom 0.9% nationally, fiber broadband rests at the national maximum, and distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 1.5% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 3.2% nationally, transportation noise settles in the bottom 7.7% nationally, and humid heat is in the bottom 10.6% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Set against that, modeled radon lands in the top 5.1% nationally, and fine-particle lies in the top 7.5% nationally. Distance to a community health center stands in the top 9.3% nationally.
Put 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 58243, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.72 years of 80.5, 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.
