The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: fiber broadband rests at the national maximum, and modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 4.7% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss is in the bottom 5.2% nationally, and walkability lands in the top 5.9% nationally. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise registers at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled short sleep settles in the bottom 12.0% nationally. Pulling the other way, outer-floodplain exposure sits in the top 10.5% nationally, distance to a nursing home lies in the top 11.0% nationally, and floodplain exposure rests in the top 11.8% nationally.

Beside the areas that surround it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 68057, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.91 years of 79.1, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

More ZIPs to explore ▾

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.
