Full methodology ›The read
Ambrose, North Dakota (ZIP 58833), by its composite score, sits in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,205th) and the top 49% of North Dakota (182nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A few measures stand out on the ground and lead the picture: distance to a nursing home sits in the top 1.1% nationally, and distance to a community health center lies in the top 3.3% nationally. Slow internet speeds rests in the top 3.3% nationally. On the stronger side, distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 0.4% nationally, housing-cost burden is at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription lands at the national maximum. Modeled short sleep stands in the bottom 4.3% nationally, modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 6.0% nationally, and homeownership settles in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 6.7% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay.

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 1.98 years of 85.1, 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.
