The read

On the composite measure, Brian Head, Utah (ZIP 84719) stands in the bottom 47% nationally (17,012th) and the bottom 17% of Utah (236th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

continue reading

Several readings make the pressure on this area plain: crowded housing settles in the top 1.4% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the top 3.6% nationally. Slow internet speeds lands in the top 4.1% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled binge drinking settles in the bottom 0.8% nationally, distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 1.2% nationally, and modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 1.9% nationally. Homeownership settles at the national maximum, modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.

Set beside the wider area around it, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. ZIP 84759, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

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 0.98 years of 78.9, 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.
