Full methodology ›The read
Ross, North Dakota (ZIP 58776) ranks in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,164th) and the top 48% of North Dakota (179th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 0.6% nationally, and poverty settles at the national minimum. Fiber broadband rests in the top 3.6% nationally, and modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Modeled loneliness settles in the bottom 6.4% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 6.4% nationally. By contrast, modeled transportation noise lands in the top 3.9% nationally, fine-particle settles in the top 4.0% nationally, and loud transportation noise rests in the top 5.8% nationally. Homeownership lands in the bottom 6.9% 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 58773, 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 1.10 years of 79.6, 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.
