Morgan, Utah (ZIP 84050), on the composite measure, lands in the top 8.2% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,628th) and the top 9.6% of Utah (27th).
What works most in this area's favor shows up clearly across the measures: modeled obesity registers in the bottom 6.0% nationally, household income lands in the top 6.8% nationally, and poverty resides in the bottom 5.8% nationally. Modeled food insecurity lies in the bottom 6.2% nationally, housing insecurity settles in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and transportation stands in the bottom 6.7% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and high cholesterol rests in the bottom 5.5% nationally. Working the other way, modeled fine-particle sits in the top 5.6% nationally, and disaster risk registers in the top 7.4% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 84018, just across the boundary.

Below what income predicts
The ZIP codes that outlive their incomes
Estimated life expectancy is 79.6 ± 1.4 years. A median household income of $131,170 predicts 81.2 years — 1.6 years below.
Ranked #1,964 of the 5,842 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by years above what income predicts, highest first.
Heavy environment, light chronic burden
Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions
Environmental-hazard standing 27.4; chronic-disease standing 91.0 (top 10%) — 64 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.
Ranked #15,760 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.

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 0.72 years of 79.6, 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
