In overall standing, Kief, North Dakota (ZIP 58723) comes out in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,879th) and the bottom 44% of North Dakota (207th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 0.7% nationally, modeled loneliness stands in the bottom 6.4% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity lands in the bottom 7.4% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff is in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle resides at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled fine-particle rests in the top 3.1% nationally, and hearing disability lies in the top 4.8% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits in the top 4.6% nationally, and modeled radon settles in the top 8.0% nationally. Slow internet speeds registers in the top 6.7% nationally.
In plain terms, 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 58559, 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 0.84 years of 78.7, 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.
