ST89thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The number of dental offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden

Lower is healthier
ST15thUS6thDefinition & 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
Lindon, Utah (ZIP 84042), in overall standing, comes out in the top 6.8% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,156th) and the top 6.7% of Utah (19th).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: modeled binge drinking stands in the bottom 0.2% nationally, high blood pressure resides in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and fair or poor health sits in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol stands in the bottom 5.5% nationally, fiber broadband resides in the top 8.5% nationally, and modeled mobility disability sits in the bottom 6.9% nationally. Modeled diabetes stands in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and dental providers resides in the top 8.9% nationally. Modeled energy burden sits in the bottom 6.0% nationally. Against that, modeled fine-particle stands in the top 6.4% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 84003, 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 1.05 years of 80.8, 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. How distance is measured
