Nixon, Nevada (ZIP 89424), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 1.5% nationally (31,599th) and the bottom 0.7% of Nevada (165th).
A demanding profile, and several measures drive it: modeled mammography lands in the bottom 0.7% nationally, tooth loss rests in the top 1.3% nationally, and short sleep settles in the top 0.9% nationally. Modeled fine-particle lands in the top 0.5% nationally, unemployment rests in the top 0.6% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the top 0.8% nationally. Walkability lands in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and modeled loneliness rests in the top 1.1% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability settles in the top 2.1% nationally, and vision disability lands in the top 4.3% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, unemployment runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, 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. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 89408, 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 3.05 years of 78.8, 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.
