On the composite measure, ZIP 89117, one of several in Las Vegas, Nevada stands in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,632nd) and the top 32% of Nevada (53rd).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 2.5% nationally, and dental providers stands in the top 4.0% nationally. Walkability sits in the top 4.9% nationally, and floodplain exposure resides in the bottom 10.4% nationally. Physicians stands in the top 10.4% nationally, and outpatient sits in the top 10.9% nationally. On the other side, modeled tree cover resides at the national minimum, modeled extreme heat stands in the top 7.2% nationally, and homeownership sits in the bottom 7.5% nationally. Housing-cost burden resides in the top 7.9% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, 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. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 89135, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.54 years of 79.1, 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.
