Full methodology ›The read
Kenmare, North Dakota (ZIP 58746), by its overall standing, sits in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,063rd) and the top 24% of North Dakota (88th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 0.4% nationally, mental-health providers sits in the top 0.5% nationally, and elder services settles in the top 1.5% nationally. Pharmacy registers in the top 2.5% nationally, outpatient stands in the top 4.1% nationally, and fiber broadband lands in the top 4.7% nationally. Childcare is in the top 5.4% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Set against that, distance to a nursing home rests in the top 4.8% nationally, and modeled fine-particle lies in the top 5.1% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, mental-health providers runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 58721, 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 1.26 years of 78.1, 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.
