Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Harrisburg, Nebraska (ZIP 69345) places in the top 18% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,751st) and the top 15% of Nebraska (86th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The standout strengths in the data are the natural place to begin: modeled short sleep settles in the bottom 3.3% nationally, and loneliness sits in the bottom 4.5% nationally. Housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 6.7% nationally. Modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 10.2% nationally, and transportation noise is in the bottom 11.1% nationally. On the other side, slow internet speeds lands in the top 2.6% nationally, modeled nitrate stands in the top 5.0% nationally, and walkability registers in the bottom 6.2% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Beside the areas that surround it, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 82009, about 15 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

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.
