By its overall health score, Wellsville, Utah (ZIP 84339) lands in the top 10.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,238th) and the top 13.4% of Utah (38th).
Taken together, the profile's clearest strengths surface right away: modeled binge drinking lands in the bottom 3.7% nationally, and lithium in drinking water registers in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Park land sits in the top 6.5% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Modeled short sleep is in the bottom 7.5% nationally, high blood pressure stands in the bottom 6.1% nationally, and high cholesterol settles in the bottom 6.1% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity lies in the bottom 9.5% nationally, and mobility disability resides in the bottom 8.3% nationally. Against that, modeled fine-particle lands in the top 6.5% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 84325, 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 0.82 years of 80.8, 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
