Overall, Avon, Montana (ZIP 59713) lands in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,599th) and the top 30% of Montana (102nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of measures pull each way for this area: modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and humid heat lies in the bottom 2.9% nationally. Park land lands in the top 7.2% nationally, and housing-cost burden sits in the bottom 7.3% nationally. Unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 7.5% nationally. Set against that, modeled fine-particle resides in the top 1.8% nationally, walkability registers in the bottom 3.0% nationally, and slow internet speeds rests in the top 3.4% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands in the top 5.5% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 59633, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 0.85 years of 78.5, 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.
