A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Overall, ZIP 89178, one of several in Las Vegas, Nevada places in the top 21% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,647th) and the top 16% of Nevada (26th).
Where the data is kindest to this area, a few readings lead the way: distance to a Superfund site sits in the top 2.9% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease lies in the bottom 3.0% nationally. Fatal road crashes rests in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and modeled stroke resides in the bottom 3.5% nationally. Modeled hearing disability is in the bottom 4.5% nationally, and high blood pressure lands in the bottom 5.4% nationally. On the other hand, modeled tree cover stands at the national minimum, extreme heat registers in the top 5.4% nationally, and arsenic settles in the top 6.5% nationally. Modeled colon screening sits in the bottom 7.6% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 89148, 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.
