Full methodology ›The read
Bridgeport, Nebraska (ZIP 69336), overall, ranks in the top 47% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,105th) and the bottom 22% of Nebraska (444th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
This area's most favorable readings come through plainly in the numbers: elder services resides in the top 2.7% nationally, and civic settles in the top 5.0% nationally. Distance to an emergency room is at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Pharmacy sits in the top 6.4% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 6.6% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 8.0% nationally, and dental providers stands in the top 8.5% nationally. Outpatient rests in the top 9.5% nationally. On the other side, modeled nitrate registers in the top 5.8% nationally, and distance to a community health center resides in the top 8.4% nationally.
Defined simply, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. ZIP 69131, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 1.06 years of 78.5, 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.
