Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Driscoll, North Dakota (ZIP 58532) ranks in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,347th) and the top 35% of North Dakota (129th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of measures mark what daily life looks like here: home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 1.0% nationally, and slow internet speeds resides in the top 2.7% nationally. Modeled radon registers in the top 5.4% nationally, and distance to an emergency room rests in the top 3.3% nationally. Distance to a nursing home stands in the top 3.5% nationally, modeled fine-particle lies in the top 4.5% nationally, and distance to a community health center lands in the top 6.1% nationally. On the brighter side, distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 0.9% nationally, and modeled loneliness is in the bottom 3.8% nationally. Unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, 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. Close by, ZIP 58494, 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 0.81 years of 81.2, 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.
