Dickey, North Dakota (ZIP 58431), on the composite measure, lands in the top 40% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,827th) and the bottom 27% of North Dakota (270th).
Where the data speaks clearest about this place, it leads: distance to an emergency room registers in the top 2.9% nationally, modeled hearing disability lands in the top 4.5% nationally, and slow internet speeds resides in the top 4.6% nationally. Modeled radon lies in the top 7.1% nationally, and fine-particle settles in the top 6.9% nationally. Better still, modeled loneliness stands in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site is in the top 2.3% nationally. Poverty rests at the national minimum, and housing-cost burden sits in the bottom 5.8% nationally. Unemployment registers at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
In everyday language, 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. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 58415, 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 1.63 years of 80.6, 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.
