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 ›The read
Page, Nebraska (ZIP 68766) ranks in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,627th) and the top 36% of Nebraska (202nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The strongest marks in the data are worth naming first: modeled loneliness rests in the bottom 4.5% nationally, and homeownership lands in the top 6.9% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Poverty rests in the bottom 10.7% nationally, distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 11.9% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity settles in the bottom 12.3% nationally. On the other side, modeled nitrate rests in the top 4.5% nationally, slow internet speeds lands in the top 7.5% nationally, and modeled fine-particle settles in the top 9.9% nationally. Modeled binge drinking rests in the top 9.3% nationally.
For context, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 68734, about 11 miles away.

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 1.07 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.
