Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 89120, one of several in Las Vegas, Nevada ranks in the bottom 43% nationally (18,226th) and the top 50% of Nevada (83rd).
Several readings make the pressure on this area plain: modeled extreme heat lands in the top 0.9% nationally, and tree cover settles at the national minimum. Modeled transportation noise rests in the top 8.0% nationally. On the encouraging side, distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 2.3% nationally, outpatient settles in the top 5.4% nationally, and mental-health providers rests in the top 6.0% nationally. Dental providers lands in the top 7.3% nationally, subsidized affordable housing settles in the top 8.3% nationally, and park land rests in the top 8.9% nationally. Floodplain exposure lands in the bottom 9.1% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 89014, 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 0.75 years of 77.2, 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
