Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, ZIP 84088, one of several in West Jordan, Utah sits in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,319th) and the bottom 49% of Utah (146th).
The measures that most flatter this area set the tone for the rest: modeled high cholesterol rests in the bottom 4.1% nationally. Distance to an emergency room settles at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled coronary heart disease lands in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and high blood pressure rests in the bottom 5.2% nationally. Dental providers settles in the top 7.1% nationally. Against that, modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 3.4% nationally, and tree cover rests at the national minimum. Modeled fine-particle settles in the top 5.4% nationally, and expected annual loss lands in the top 6.2% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests in the top 6.6% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 84047, 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 0.79 years of 79.3, 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
