ZIP 89169, one of several in Las Vegas, Nevada, by its composite score, sits in the bottom 7.4% nationally (29,718th) and the bottom 8.5% of Nevada (152nd).
The measures that define this area's challenges come through directly: modeled transportation noise stands in the top 0.6% nationally, and colon screening registers in the bottom 2.4% nationally. Modeled uninsured settles in the top 3.5% nationally, and extreme heat sits in the top 1.3% nationally. Modeled mammography lies in the bottom 2.5% nationally, modeled short sleep rests in the top 2.1% nationally, and homeownership resides in the bottom 1.9% nationally. Households without a vehicle is in the top 2.2% nationally. On the stronger side, subsidized affordable housing lands in the top 0.4% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 2.3% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels.

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 0.77 years of 74.9, 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.
