The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Full methodology ›The read
Surrey, North Dakota (ZIP 58785), by its composite score, sits in the top 23% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,411th) and the top 27% of North Dakota (99th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 0.5% nationally, and fiber broadband registers in the top 2.9% nationally. Poverty settles in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Homeownership lies in the top 8.8% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol rests in the bottom 6.6% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled binge drinking resides in the top 1.3% nationally, fine-particle is in the top 3.3% nationally, and pfas lands in the top 5.4% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 7.1% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them.

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 3.03 years of 80.4, 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
