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.
Distance to a Superfund site
262.6 mi
in the top 0.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST87thUS99thDefinition & 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 ›Radon
3.5 pCi/L
in the top 5.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST80thUS95thDefinition & 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 ›Child-care access
0.79 per 1,000 residents
in the top 3.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST75thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The number of child day-care services 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 ›Loneliness
27.4%
in the bottom 4.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST42ndUS4thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.
Full methodology ›Fiber broadband
98.8%
in the top 5.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST69thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The share of homes where fiber-optic internet service is available.
Full methodology ›Elder-services access
0.26 per 1,000 residents
in the top 5.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST72ndUS95thDefinition & 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 ›Air-toxics cancer risk
16.9 per million
in the bottom 6.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST13thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.
Full methodology ›Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance
1.4%
in the top 6.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST41stUS93rdDefinition & 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 ›Floodplain exposure
0.13%
in the bottom 7.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST29thUS8thDefinition & 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 ›Recreation access
1.1 per 1,000 residents
in the top 7.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST76thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — 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 ›The read
By its overall health score, Bottineau, North Dakota (ZIP 58318) lands in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,500th) and the top 28% of North Dakota (103rd).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 0.6% nationally, and childcare lies in the top 3.9% nationally. Modeled loneliness resides in the bottom 4.5% nationally, and fiber broadband lands in the top 5.2% nationally. Elder services registers in the top 5.3% nationally. Distance to an emergency room sits at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 6.4% nationally, and floodplain exposure is in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Against that, modeled radon stands in the top 5.0% nationally, and fine-particle settles in the top 6.6% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 58783, 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 1.16 years of 78.3, 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.
