A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 0.5% nationally, and modeled transportation noise sits at the national minimum. Modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 5.2% nationally, and housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 5.5% nationally. Fiber broadband sits in the top 8.3% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled binge drinking stands in the top 2.3% nationally, slow internet speeds sits in the top 3.7% nationally, and modeled fine-particle resides in the top 7.8% nationally. Distance to a nursing home stands in the top 10.0% nationally.

For clarity, 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. ZIP 58755, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.72 years of 78.6, 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.
