ZIP 84124, one of several in Millcreek, Utah ranks in the top 6.8% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,169th) and the top 7.1% of Utah (20th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: outpatient stands in the top 2.6% nationally, and physicians sits in the top 2.9% nationally. Mental-health providers resides in the top 3.6% nationally, and dental providers stands in the top 3.8% nationally. Fatal road crashes sits in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and park land resides in the top 5.1% nationally. Distance to an emergency room stands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled expected annual loss sits in the top 1.0% nationally, fine-particle resides in the top 5.2% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 6.5% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 84109, 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 0.60 years of 80.5, 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
