Full methodology ›The read
Tuttle, North Dakota (ZIP 58488), in overall standing, comes out in the top 45% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,544th) and the bottom 18% of North Dakota (303rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A rural profile defined by a handful of clear readings: distance to a nursing home settles in the top 1.8% nationally, distance to an emergency room lands in the top 1.9% nationally, and slow internet speeds rests in the top 2.3% nationally. Modeled hearing disability settles in the top 3.3% nationally, radon lands in the top 7.0% nationally, and fine-particle rests in the top 6.6% nationally. On the stronger side, distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 0.9% nationally, and modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 1.1% nationally. Homeownership rests in the top 5.6% nationally. Unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
Set within its surrounding area, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, 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. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 58423, 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 2.54 years of 84.6, 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.
