Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 85258, one of several in Scottsdale, Arizona ranks in the top 5.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,577th) and the top 3.3% of Arizona (13th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: physicians is in the top 0.3% nationally, and modeled housing insecurity registers in the bottom 0.7% nationally. Outpatient lies in the top 0.7% nationally, and modeled utility shutoff is in the bottom 0.9% nationally. Dental providers registers in the top 1.4% nationally, modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 1.7% nationally, and recreation is in the top 1.9% nationally. Mental-health providers registers in the top 2.4% nationally. Working the other way, modeled extreme heat lies in the top 0.4% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure is in the top 0.9% nationally.
Against its neighbors, physicians runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 85253, 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 0.64 years of 82.9, 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. How distance is measured
