In its overall standing, Santa Clara, Utah (ZIP 84765) lands in the top 9.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,867th) and the top 9.9% of Utah (28th).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 1.1% nationally, modeled binge drinking is in the bottom 3.1% nationally, and fiber broadband sits in the top 4.7% nationally. Fatal road crashes lands in the bottom 4.9% nationally, home broadband subscription lies in the top 6.5% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity stands in the bottom 6.7% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 8.0% nationally.

Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, 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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. No nearby ZIP ranks healthier overall than this one.

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 1.06 years of 82.4, 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.
