The read

By its overall health score, Leamington, Utah (ZIP 84638) lands in the top 45% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,461st) and the bottom 26% of Utah (210th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

The measures split the difference for this area: modeled binge drinking rests in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and homeownership is at the national maximum. Modeled humid heat stands in the bottom 4.0% nationally, and poverty settles in the bottom 5.1% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 5.3% nationally, modeled pfas resides in the bottom 5.8% nationally, and home broadband subscription lands in the top 7.1% nationally. Against that, distance to a community health center registers in the top 1.7% nationally, distance to a nursing home sits in the top 5.4% nationally, and walkability rests in the bottom 8.5% nationally.

To translate a couple of terms, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 84649, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.42 years of 82.1, 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.
