In its overall standing, ZIP 89081, one of several in North Las Vegas, Nevada lands in the bottom 45% nationally (17,538th) and the top 46% of Nevada (76th).
This area's pressures are easy to read across the measures: modeled extreme heat lies in the top 1.5% nationally, modeled loneliness stands in the top 4.4% nationally, and slow internet speeds rests in the top 4.8% nationally. Modeled tree cover registers at the national minimum, modeled short sleep resides in the top 5.5% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure settles in the top 6.6% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity is in the top 8.4% nationally. On the brighter side, distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 2.1% nationally, and walkability lands in the top 7.5% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease lies in the bottom 6.3% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, slow internet speeds runs far higher 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. 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". On the overall standing, ZIP 89031, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.08 years of 78.6, 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.
