On balance, and by the composite measure, ZIP 89143, one of several in Las Vegas, Nevada ranks in the top 31% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,902nd) and the top 23% of Nevada (39th).
The measures split the difference for this area: distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 2.2% nationally, and floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum. Modeled coronary heart disease sits in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and hearing disability rests in the bottom 10.0% nationally. Modeled stroke is in the bottom 8.3% nationally, park land stands in the top 11.5% nationally, and walkability settles in the top 12.0% nationally. Against that, modeled tree cover lies at the national minimum, extreme heat resides in the top 5.9% nationally, and colon screening lands in the bottom 7.6% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 89124, 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

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.
