The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, ZIP 84093, one of several in Sandy, Utah lands in the top 9.3% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,981st) and the top 11.3% of Utah (32nd).
This area's strengths are easy to pick out across the measures: household income lands in the top 5.4% nationally, fatal road crashes lies in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and modeled transportation stands in the bottom 5.9% nationally. Modeled energy burden rests in the bottom 2.9% nationally, humid heat registers in the bottom 7.3% nationally, and housing insecurity resides in the bottom 7.4% nationally. Working the other way, modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the top 3.7% nationally, and tree cover is at the national minimum. Modeled fine-particle sits in the top 5.6% nationally, and expected annual loss lands in the top 5.7% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, expected annual loss runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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. On the overall standing, ZIP 84092, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 0.83 years of 81.0, 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
