Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Nenzel, Nebraska (ZIP 69219) lands in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,351st) and the bottom 37% of Nebraska (356th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The readings that matter most locally set the tone for the profile: distance to a nursing home lies in the top 0.8% nationally, and walkability resides in the bottom 0.9% nationally. Slow internet speeds lands in the top 2.0% nationally, and distance to a community health center registers in the top 3.8% nationally. On the encouraging side, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 2.1% nationally, park land rests in the top 2.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription is at the national maximum. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the bottom 2.8% nationally, distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 3.6% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 4.9% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 69366, about 9.6 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 0.99 years of 78.4, 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.
