On the composite measure, Lefor, North Dakota (ZIP 58641) stands in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,377th) and the top 20% of North Dakota (74th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 1.5% nationally, and modeled loneliness is in the bottom 2.1% nationally. Modeled transportation noise registers at the national minimum, and air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled humid heat is in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Unemployment registers at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Working the other way, modeled binge drinking lies in the top 1.5% nationally, distance to a community health center is in the top 1.5% nationally, and slow internet speeds registers in the top 2.4% nationally. Home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 6.1% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 58630, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.17 years of 82.0, 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.
