ZIP 89122, one of several in Las Vegas, Nevada, overall, ranks in the bottom 16% nationally (26,864th) and the bottom 22% of Nevada (129th).
Reading across the data, the real pressures come first: modeled extreme heat stands in the top 0.9% nationally, modeled uninsured rests in the top 5.0% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure registers in the top 4.2% nationally. Modeled mammography resides in the bottom 5.3% nationally, tree cover settles at the national minimum, and colon screening is in the bottom 6.9% nationally. Modeled loneliness sits in the top 7.0% nationally. More encouragingly, distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 2.2% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing lies in the top 2.9% nationally. Park land stands in the top 3.9% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined 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. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. ZIP 89011, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 0.70 years of 76.6, 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.
