Overall, Dayton, Nevada (ZIP 89403) places in the top 38% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,130th) and the top 33% of Nevada (54th).
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: home broadband subscription lies in the top 9.8% nationally, and modeled energy burden rests in the bottom 13.0% nationally. On the other side, modeled fine-particle resides in the top 0.5% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden is in the top 0.9% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site lands at the national minimum, modeled disaster risk stands in the top 5.6% nationally, and modeled arsenic registers in the top 11.2% nationally. Slow internet speeds settles in the top 11.2% nationally, outer-floodplain exposure sits in the top 12.3% nationally, and modeled mammography lies in the bottom 13.2% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 89521, 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

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 1.03 years of 79.6, 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.
