Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Brigham City, Utah (ZIP 84302) comes out in the top 30% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,653rd) and the top 49% of Utah (140th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled binge drinking lands in the bottom 1.9% nationally. Distance to an emergency room is at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Park land resides in the top 5.4% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing rests in the top 5.5% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol lies in the bottom 6.1% nationally, and dental providers sits in the top 10.2% nationally. Transit settles in the top 10.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center registers at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled expected annual loss stands in the top 3.1% nationally, and fine-particle lands in the top 4.4% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, expected annual loss runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, 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. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 84324, 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 0.59 years of 78.0, 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
