What defines this ZIP

Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.

Natural-disaster risk

in the top 0.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.

Full methodology ›

Distance to a Superfund site

273.9 mi

in the top 0.5% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST90th
US99th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.

Full methodology ›

Expected annual disaster loss

$1

in the top 1.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST99th
US99th
Definition & source ›

FEMA’s modeled estimate, in dollars per year, of the average harm to people expected from natural hazards — an annualized average, not a forecast for any single year.

Full methodology ›

Lead in tap water

13 ppb

in the top 1.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

US99th
Definition & source ›

The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.

Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›

Binge drinking

21%

in the top 3.3% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST77th
US97th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who report binge drinking — five or more drinks on one occasion for men, four or more for women.

Full methodology ›

Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance

2.2%

in the top 3.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST75th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.

Full methodology ›

Industrial-pollution burden

in the bottom 5.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST29th
US5th
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

Full methodology ›

Lithium in drinking water

71 µg/L

in the top 5.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST50th
US94th
Definition & source ›

The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.

Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›

Dental provider access

1 per 1,000 residents

in the top 6.5% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST94th
US94th
Definition & source ›

The number of dental offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›

Subsidized affordable housing

275 units

in the top 9.0% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST98th
US91st
Definition & source ›

The number of affordable rental units in this ZIP supported by the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program.

The read

On the composite measure, ZIP 58701, one of several in Minot, North Dakota stands in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,512th) and the top 28% of North Dakota (104th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 0.5% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 5.5% nationally, and dental providers sits in the top 6.5% nationally. On the other side, modeled disaster risk resides in the top 0.2% nationally, modeled expected annual loss stands in the top 1.1% nationally, and lead in tap water sits in the top 1.1% nationally. Modeled binge drinking resides in the top 3.3% nationally, modeled fine-particle stands in the top 3.7% nationally, and lithium in drinking water sits in the top 5.7% nationally.

Set beside the wider area around it, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. ZIP 58703, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.62 years of 79.1, 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.
