The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.

Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Grantsville, Utah (ZIP 84029) ranks in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,390th) and the bottom 48% of Utah (147th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: modeled air-toxics cancer risk settles in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure lies at the national minimum. Modeled high cholesterol resides in the bottom 4.5% nationally, and coronary heart disease lands in the bottom 7.0% nationally. On the other hand, distance to a Superfund site registers at the national minimum, distance to an emergency room sits in the top 5.1% nationally, and walkability rests in the bottom 5.1% nationally. Modeled fine-particle is in the top 5.9% nationally, modeled disaster risk stands in the top 7.2% nationally, and crowded housing settles in the top 8.0% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, 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. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 84069, 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 0.98 years of 79.4, 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.
