Judged by its overall standing, Portal, North Dakota (ZIP 58772) sits in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,713th) and the top 38% of North Dakota (141st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 0.4% nationally, modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and modeled loneliness rests in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Home broadband subscription settles in the top 6.0% nationally. Against that, distance to a nursing home lands in the top 1.0% nationally, and distance to an emergency room rests in the top 3.4% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles in the top 5.5% nationally, and modeled fine-particle lands in the top 5.6% nationally. Homeownership rests in the bottom 5.6% nationally, and slow internet speeds settles in the top 6.3% nationally.
Put plainly, 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. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 58727, 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 1.55 years of 78.0, 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.
