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.

Loneliness

26.1%

in the bottom 1.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST10th
US1st
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.

Distance to a Superfund site

140.3 mi

Higher is healthier

ST32nd

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.

ST12th

Definition & 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.

The read

Binford, North Dakota (ZIP 58416), in overall standing, comes out in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,382nd) and the top 35% of North Dakota (131st), based on limited data; treat as directional.

continue reading

A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 1.2% nationally, distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 2.0% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 3.2% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity lies in the bottom 6.0% nationally, fiber broadband registers in the top 6.8% nationally, and modeled utility shutoff is in the bottom 8.6% nationally. On the other hand, distance to a community health center lies in the top 3.7% nationally, and modeled radon registers in the top 7.7% nationally. Slow internet speeds is in the top 5.6% nationally, and modeled fine-particle lies in the top 6.9% nationally.

Defined simply, for reference, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 58484, just across the boundary.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

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 1.43 years of 80.0, 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.
