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 ›The read
Overall, Eagle, Nebraska (ZIP 68347) places in the top 19% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,107th) and the top 17% of Nebraska (98th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled loneliness rests in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and homeownership resides in the top 6.5% nationally. Poverty is in the bottom 7.1% nationally, and modeled short sleep lands in the bottom 8.3% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability stands in the bottom 11.4% nationally, tooth loss registers in the bottom 9.6% nationally, and transportation settles in the bottom 13.7% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled radon sits in the top 2.1% nationally, binge drinking lies in the top 3.7% nationally, and loud transportation noise rests in the top 9.9% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. 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. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 68304, 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 0.84 years of 80.2, 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. How distance is measured
