The read

Torrey, Utah (ZIP 84775), on the composite measure, lands in the top 44% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,964th) and the bottom 28% of Utah (205th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

continue reading

The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: modeled binge drinking sits in the bottom 0.2% nationally, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 0.9% nationally, and modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 1.5% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk resides in the bottom 2.8% nationally, modeled pfas lies in the bottom 3.1% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 4.9% nationally. Working the other way, distance to an emergency room stands in the top 0.8% nationally, and distance to a nursing home is in the top 0.9% nationally. Walkability rests in the bottom 3.4% nationally, and modeled hearing disability sits in the top 5.2% nationally.

In everyday language, 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. 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. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 84749, 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 2.55 years of 89.3, 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.
