Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Broadview, Montana (ZIP 59015) ranks in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,854th) and the top 8.0% of Montana (27th).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure settles at the national minimum. Households without a vehicle resides at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled mammography registers in the top 6.7% nationally, and humid heat rests in the bottom 10.2% nationally. On the other side, walkability stands in the bottom 1.6% nationally, modeled fine-particle lies in the top 4.7% nationally, and modeled binge drinking lands in the top 6.6% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits in the top 9.0% nationally, and lead in tap water is in the top 10.5% nationally.
To spell things out, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Close by, ZIP 59057, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.24 years of 81.2, 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.
