Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Central, Utah (ZIP 84722) places in the top 13.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,281st) and the top 22% of Utah (62nd).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled binge drinking sits in the bottom 0.6% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 1.0% nationally. Modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 2.6% nationally, and air-toxics cancer risk resides in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity is in the bottom 4.9% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands in the top 5.5% nationally, and modeled transportation stands in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Pulling the other way, distance to an emergency room settles in the top 3.2% nationally, and distance to a nursing home sits in the top 6.0% nationally.
For readers new to these terms, 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. 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. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 84714, 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 1.80 years of 82.3, 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.
