Full methodology ›The read
Makoti, North Dakota (ZIP 58756), by its overall standing, sits in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,984th) and the top 31% of North Dakota (114th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 0.6% nationally, poverty stands in the bottom 4.9% nationally, and fiber broadband lands in the top 6.8% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 6.9% nationally. By contrast, modeled binge drinking resides in the top 2.9% nationally, and distance to a nursing home rests in the top 3.3% nationally. Modeled fine-particle lies in the top 3.8% nationally, and radon sits in the top 7.1% nationally. Distance to an emergency room settles in the top 5.3% nationally, and slow internet speeds registers in the top 5.7% nationally.
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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 58779, 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 1.15 years of 79.2, 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
