Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Amidon, North Dakota (ZIP 58620) sits in the top 38% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,319th) and the bottom 30% of North Dakota (260th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 2.0% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Modeled humid heat sits in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 5.8% nationally. Working the other way, distance to a community health center lands in the top 0.7% nationally, and distance to a nursing home resides in the top 1.6% nationally. Home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 4.7% nationally, and slow internet speeds settles in the top 5.3% nationally. Modeled binge drinking stands in the top 6.2% nationally.
In plain language, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. ZIP 58622, 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 0.85 years of 79.7, 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.
