Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Bluffdale, Utah (ZIP 84065) stands in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,235th) and the top 25% of Utah (71st).
The bright spots in the data define much of the story here: modeled high cholesterol stands in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 3.6% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease resides in the bottom 2.7% nationally, and high blood pressure stands in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Modeled diabetes sits in the bottom 2.5% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled stroke stands in the bottom 3.5% nationally, and household income sits in the top 7.4% nationally. On the other side, modeled fine-particle resides in the top 5.4% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 6.9% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, industrial-pollution burden runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. ZIP 84020, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.75 years of 82.1, 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
