ST97thUS98thDefinition & source ›
The number of civic and social organizations inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Eureka, Utah (ZIP 84628) sits in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,575th) and the bottom 35% of Utah (186th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: civic registers in the top 2.1% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and modeled humid heat resides in the bottom 3.3% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 3.5% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 4.5% nationally, and modeled binge drinking stands in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Homeownership is in the top 6.9% nationally. Working the other way, distance to a nursing home rests in the top 3.5% nationally, and distance to an emergency room sits in the top 6.3% nationally. Crowded housing registers in the top 7.2% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. ZIP 84080, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 0.86 years of 79.0, 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.
