Full methodology ›The read
Leeds, Utah (ZIP 84746), by its overall standing, sits in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,255th) and the top 31% of Utah (88th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: modeled binge drinking stands in the bottom 0.2% nationally, distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 1.1% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity resides in the bottom 4.4% nationally, park land rests in the top 4.4% nationally, and civic lies in the top 5.5% nationally. Households without a vehicle sits at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. By contrast, distance to an emergency room settles in the top 1.7% nationally, and modeled hearing disability registers in the top 6.5% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 6.4% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain 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. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 84720, about 0.8 miles away.

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 1.67 years of 85.2, 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.
