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.

Radon

3.8 pCi/L

in the top 2.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST97th
US97th
Definition & 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.

Distance to a Superfund site

174.3 mi

in the top 1.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST51st
US99th
Definition & 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 ›

Distance to a community health center

45.3 mi

in the top 1.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST92nd
US99th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.

Full methodology ›

Natural-disaster risk

in the top 2.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST96th
US98th
Definition & source ›

This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.

Full methodology ›

Loneliness

26.8%

in the bottom 2.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST23rd
US2nd
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.

Full methodology ›

Elder-services access

0.4 per 1,000 residents

in the top 3.3% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST75th
US97th
Definition & 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 ›

Lithium in drinking water

80 µg/L

in the top 4.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST53rd
US95th
Definition & source ›

The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.

Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›

Fiber broadband

98.3%

in the top 6.1% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST59th
US94th
Definition & source ›

The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.

ST16th
US7th

The read

Devils Lake, North Dakota (ZIP 58301), on the composite measure, lands in the top 47% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,113th) and the bottom 16% of North Dakota (312th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 1.4% nationally, modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and elder services resides in the top 3.3% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lies at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Fiber broadband settles in the top 6.1% nationally, and modeled humid heat stands in the bottom 6.3% nationally. On the other hand, modeled radon is in the top 2.8% nationally, and distance to a community health center rests in the top 1.5% nationally. Modeled disaster risk sits in the top 2.4% nationally, and lithium in drinking water registers in the top 4.6% nationally.

In everyday language, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 58327, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.62 years of 77.9, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
