Full methodology ›The read
Berthold, North Dakota (ZIP 58718), in overall standing, comes out in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,410th) and the top 20% of North Dakota (75th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 0.5% nationally, elder services settles in the top 1.0% nationally, and recreation lands in the top 2.2% nationally. Childcare rests in the top 3.0% nationally, civic settles in the top 5.1% nationally, and poverty lands in the bottom 5.5% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the bottom 6.4% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled fine-particle settles in the top 4.2% nationally, and slow internet speeds lands in the top 4.8% nationally. Modeled binge drinking rests in the top 5.8% nationally.
Defined simply, for reference, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 58703, just across the boundary.

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 0.83 years of 79.9, 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. How distance is measured
