Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Alamo, North Dakota (ZIP 58830) lands in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,765th) and the bottom 45% of North Dakota (203rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 0.5% nationally, and homeownership sits at the national maximum. Modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and fiber broadband is in the top 5.4% nationally. Modeled transportation noise stands in the bottom 6.0% nationally. Against that, unemployment settles in the top 2.0% nationally, distance to a nursing home lies in the top 4.0% nationally, and PFAS in drinking water resides at the national maximum. Home broadband subscription lands in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and modeled binge drinking registers in the top 6.2% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. PFAS in drinking water is the family of man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 58801, 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 1.91 years of 77.5, 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.
