Full methodology ›The read
Rollins, Montana (ZIP 59931), on the composite measure, lands in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,079th) and the top 9.4% of Montana (32nd).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled short sleep settles in the bottom 0.8% nationally, housing insecurity stands in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and loneliness is in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled food insecurity rests in the bottom 4.3% nationally, utility shutoff sits in the bottom 4.4% nationally, and pfas registers in the bottom 4.8% nationally. On the other hand, modeled fine-particle lands in the top 1.6% nationally, and hearing disability resides in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies in the top 2.5% nationally, and home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 3.2% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. 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. 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. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 59911, 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 3.65 years of 84.2, 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.
