Judged by its overall standing, Oilmont, Montana (ZIP 59466) sits in the bottom 21% nationally (25,354th) and the bottom 15.0% of Montana (290th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile carries real weight, and several readings make that plain: modeled hearing disability is in the top 0.4% nationally, coronary heart disease lies in the top 1.0% nationally, and stroke registers in the top 2.0% nationally. Walkability is in the bottom 1.4% nationally, and modeled mobility disability lies in the top 4.7% nationally. Better still, modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden is at the national minimum. Modeled short sleep lies in the bottom 1.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription registers at the national maximum. Modeled humid heat is in the bottom 3.0% nationally.
Put plainly, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 59474, 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 0.93 years of 78.1, 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.
