What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Energy-cost burden
6.5%
in the top 1.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST95thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Binge drinking
20.4%

Lower is healthier
ST80thUS95thDefinition & 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 ›Nitrate in drinking water

in the top 5.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST81stUS95thDefinition & 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 ›Poverty rate
1.7%
in the bottom 6.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST6thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The share of residents whose income is below the federal poverty line, from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

ST43rdUS7thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.
Full methodology ›Distance to a nursing home
11.3 mi
in the top 8.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST89thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Medicare- or Medicaid-certified nursing home.
Full methodology ›Recreation access
1 per 1,000 residents
in the top 8.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST90thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Colon-cancer screening
59.3%
in the bottom 12.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST7thUS12thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.
Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Pleasanton, Nebraska (ZIP 68866) lands in the top 38% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,055th) and the bottom 40% of Nebraska (342nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: poverty lands in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled loneliness stands in the bottom 7.3% nationally, and recreation rests in the top 8.9% nationally. Modeled transportation noise registers in the bottom 13.0% nationally. Set against that, modeled energy burden resides in the top 1.7% nationally, and binge drinking settles in the top 4.8% nationally. Modeled nitrate is in the top 5.1% nationally, and distance to a nursing home sits in the top 8.9% nationally. Fatal road crashes lands in the top 10.1% nationally.
Put simply, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. On the overall standing, ZIP 68812, 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 1.16 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.
