Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 84092, one of several in Sandy, Utah, on the composite measure, lands in the top 6.6% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,089th) and the top 6.4% of Utah (18th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: park land resides in the top 1.1% nationally, household income lies in the top 3.7% nationally, and modeled transportation settles in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity stands in the bottom 4.9% nationally, humid heat is in the bottom 6.0% nationally, and energy burden rests in the bottom 2.7% nationally. Modeled food insecurity sits in the bottom 6.6% nationally, and utility shutoff registers in the bottom 6.6% nationally. Working the other way, modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 3.8% nationally, and fine-particle resides in the top 5.6% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. A healthier neighbor overall sits at 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 0.73 years of 80.6, 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
