The read

In its overall standing, Tioga, North Dakota (ZIP 58852) lands in the top 37% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,989th) and the bottom 35% of North Dakota (243rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.

Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 0.6% nationally, and fiber broadband lies in the top 4.0% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and recreation registers in the top 7.8% nationally. Pharmacy resides in the top 10.3% nationally. On the other side, modeled binge drinking settles in the top 0.9% nationally, and fine-particle is in the top 4.6% nationally. Modeled radon sits in the top 10.5% nationally, and homeownership lands in the bottom 11.4% nationally.

Put simply, 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. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. On the overall standing, ZIP 58755, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

“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 1.04 years of 78.1, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
