Full methodology ›The read
Working from the partial data available, for Saltese, Montana (ZIP 59867), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
On the measures in hand, a few readings come through: park land lies in the top 0.2% nationally, modeled tree cover registers in the top 0.2% nationally, and modeled pfas is in the bottom 0.3% nationally. Housing-cost burden lies at the national minimum, poverty registers at the national minimum, and homeownership is at the national maximum. Against that, modeled fine-particle lies in the top 0.6% nationally, and unemployment registers in the top 0.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is in the top 1.6% nationally, and slow internet speeds lies in the top 2.4% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume.

| Life expectancy at birth | 78.3 yr ± 1.80 | 78.9 yr (74.7–82.8) n=31,308 | 79.7 yr (76.7–83.7) n=358 |
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 1.80 years of 78.3, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.
