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

220.4 mi

in the top 0.8% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST72nd
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 ›

Lead in tap water

11 ppb

in the top 1.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

US98th
Definition & source ›

The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.

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.

Air-toxics cancer risk

10 per million

in the bottom 2.8% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US3rd
Definition & 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 ›

Radon

3.4 pCi/L

in the top 5.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST73rd
US95th
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.

Full methodology ›

Hearing disability

12.1%

in the top 4.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST92nd

The read

On balance, and by the composite measure, Rocklake, North Dakota (ZIP 58365) ranks in the bottom 37% nationally (20,167th) and the bottom 6.5% of North Dakota (347th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: lead in tap water lands in the top 1.8% nationally, and modeled radon registers in the top 5.5% nationally. Modeled hearing disability sits in the top 4.2% nationally, and distance to a nursing home rests in the top 6.8% nationally. Modeled obesity is in the top 5.1% nationally. On the encouraging side, distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 0.8% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk settles in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and fiber broadband lies in the top 3.8% nationally. Modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Unemployment lands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.

In plainer terms, 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 58317, 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 1.64 years of 79.4, 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.
