Judged by its overall standing, Price, Utah (ZIP 84501) sits in the bottom 43% nationally (18,303rd) and the bottom 13.1% of Utah (247th).
A few readings each way define this mixed profile: modeled binge drinking settles in the bottom 2.9% nationally, dental providers lands in the top 3.6% nationally, and physicians rests in the top 3.9% nationally. Modeled humid heat settles in the bottom 4.0% nationally, elder services lands in the top 4.4% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 5.2% nationally. Childcare settles in the top 5.4% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Park land rests in the top 5.7% nationally, and mental-health providers settles in the top 6.5% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 84526, 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 0.71 years of 74.0, 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.
