By the composite health measure, Reeder, North Dakota (ZIP 58649) ranks in the top 42% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,328th) and the bottom 23% of North Dakota (284th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A handful of measures stand out most sharply across the profile here: modeled air-toxics cancer risk sits in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site is in the top 3.5% nationally. Modeled loneliness settles in the bottom 6.8% nationally. Unemployment resides at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle registers at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 8.2% nationally. On the other side, slow internet speeds stands in the top 2.9% nationally, distance to a community health center lies in the top 4.9% nationally, and modeled hearing disability lands in the top 6.5% nationally. Modeled radon sits in the top 9.9% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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. Close by, ZIP 57640, 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 1.24 years of 79.4, 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.
