ST10thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

ST11thUS5thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 84040, one of several in Layton, Utah sits in the top 10.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,348th) and the top 14.1% of Utah (40th).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled binge drinking lands in the bottom 1.4% nationally, park land rests in the top 2.7% nationally, and fatal road crashes settles in the bottom 6.1% nationally. Household income lands in the top 7.4% nationally, fiber broadband rests in the top 7.1% nationally, and modeled energy burden settles in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Modeled food insecurity lands in the bottom 8.7% nationally, and mobility disability rests in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Against that, modeled fine-particle settles in the top 3.6% nationally, and expected annual loss lands in the top 8.8% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 84050, 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

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. How distance is measured
