The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 89044, one of several in Henderson, Nevada, by its overall standing, sits in the top 10.8% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,448th) and the top 4.9% of Nevada (8th).
Several good marks anchor the profile and deserve first mention: distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 2.6% nationally, modeled obesity lies in the bottom 8.0% nationally, and fatal road crashes sits in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Modeled tooth loss settles in the bottom 3.3% nationally, floodplain exposure registers in the bottom 9.4% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability stands in the bottom 8.4% nationally. By contrast, modeled extreme heat lands in the top 3.1% nationally, and disaster risk is in the top 3.2% nationally. Modeled tree cover resides at the national minimum, and slow internet speeds rests in the top 5.3% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, slow internet speeds 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Locally, no neighbor ranks healthier overall than this ZIP.

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 0.89 years of 82.8, 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.
