Radon
4.3 pCi/L
in the top 1.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST78thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Loneliness
27.1%
in the bottom 3.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST16thUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.
Full methodology ›Binge drinking
20.1%
in the top 5.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST75thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report binge drinking — five or more drinks on one occasion for men, four or more for women.
Full methodology ›Distance to a community health center
23.9 mi
in the top 6.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST61stUS94thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.
Full methodology ›Nitrate in drinking water
0.71%
in the top 6.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST69thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of this area’s domestic-well groundwater at or above the federal nitrate limit of 10 milligrams per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Homeownership rate
95.9%
in the top 7.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST94thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.
Full methodology ›Short sleep
29.5%
in the bottom 7.5% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST38thUS7thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.
Full methodology ›Outer-floodplain exposure
3.4%
in the top 10.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST93rdUS90thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Mammography
70.9%
in the bottom 18% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST7thUS18thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.
Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Beaver Crossing, Nebraska (ZIP 68313) lands in the top 28% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,050th) and the top 39% of Nebraska (219th).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 3.4% nationally, and homeownership stands in the top 7.5% nationally. Households without a vehicle rests at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled short sleep registers in the bottom 7.5% nationally, and cognitive disability resides in the bottom 13.6% nationally. On the other side, modeled radon settles in the top 1.2% nationally, and binge drinking is in the top 5.8% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits in the top 6.2% nationally, and modeled nitrate lands in the top 6.9% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure lies in the top 10.1% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. On the overall standing, ZIP 68405, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 78.6, 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.
