Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Wing, North Dakota (ZIP 58494) sits in the top 21% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,876th) and the top 23% of North Dakota (86th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 0.8% nationally, modeled transportation noise resides at the national minimum, and fiber broadband lies in the top 4.8% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity settles in the bottom 6.7% nationally. Working the other way, modeled radon stands in the top 4.7% nationally, and fine-particle is in the top 2.7% nationally. Distance to a nursing home rests in the top 3.2% nationally, and distance to an emergency room sits in the top 3.9% nationally. Modeled binge drinking registers in the top 6.6% nationally, and walkability lands in the bottom 7.1% nationally.
In plain 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. ZIP 58477, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 2.79 years of 82.9, 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.
