Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Emigration Canyon, Utah (ZIP 84108) sits in the top 6.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,042nd) and the top 6.0% of Utah (17th).
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: park land resides in the top 3.5% nationally, modeled pfas sits in the bottom 4.4% nationally, and modeled diabetes stands in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled obesity resides in the bottom 7.2% nationally. Distance to an emergency room sits at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled stroke stands in the bottom 3.5% nationally. On the other hand, modeled expected annual loss resides in the top 0.8% nationally, and slow internet speeds sits in the top 1.1% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site stands in the bottom 3.7% nationally, and modeled fine-particle resides in the top 5.0% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 84098, 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 0.69 years of 82.4, 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
