ZIP 89131, one of several in Las Vegas, Nevada ranks in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,257th) and the top 12.7% of Nevada (21st).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 2.2% nationally, and park land resides in the top 5.3% nationally. Fatal road crashes stands in the bottom 8.2% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing sits in the top 10.3% nationally. Walkability resides in the top 11.9% nationally, modeled obesity stands in the bottom 13.9% nationally, and household income sits in the top 10.8% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease resides in the bottom 12.1% nationally. Working the other way, modeled tree cover stands at the national minimum, and extreme heat sits in the top 5.9% 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. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 89166, about 0.7 miles away.

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 0.68 years of 78.5, 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.
