Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Altamont, Utah (ZIP 84001) places in the bottom 44% nationally (17,983rd) and the bottom 13.8% of Utah (245th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The data opens on real and measurable burdens: modeled mammography stands in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and distance to a community health center registers in the top 2.8% nationally. Distance to a nursing home settles in the top 7.9% nationally, and modeled fine-particle sits in the top 8.6% nationally. More encouragingly, modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 0.9% nationally, recreation rests in the top 4.2% nationally, and modeled binge drinking resides in the bottom 3.4% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site is in the top 7.6% nationally, modeled high cholesterol lands in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss stands in the bottom 10.8% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 84002, just across the boundary.

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 3.59 years of 90.4, 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.
