Douglas, North Dakota (ZIP 58735), in overall standing, comes out in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,177th) and the top 25% of North Dakota (91st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 0.6% nationally, and household income resides in the top 3.9% nationally. Unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Fiber broadband stands in the top 7.9% nationally, and poverty resides in the bottom 8.1% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity sits in the bottom 9.5% nationally, and humid heat stands in the bottom 9.6% 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 58733, about 2.0 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 0.91 years of 80.1, 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.
