Full methodology ›The read
Des Lacs, North Dakota (ZIP 58733) ranks in the top 19% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,017th) and the top 16% of North Dakota (61st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 0.5% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Poverty rests in the bottom 4.9% nationally, and homeownership lands in the top 5.3% nationally. Modeled transportation settles in the bottom 5.9% nationally, housing insecurity rests in the bottom 6.0% nationally, and food insecurity lands in the bottom 6.2% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff settles in the bottom 6.6% nationally. On the other side, modeled fine-particle rests in the top 4.0% nationally, and binge drinking lands in the top 5.2% nationally.
For context, 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 ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 58703, about 3.9 miles away.

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 80.6, 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.
