Distance to a community health center
47.5 mi
in the top 1.3% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST87thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest federally funded community health center, which serves patients regardless of ability to pay.
Full methodology ›Arsenic in groundwater
35.7%
in the top 2.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST82ndUS98thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Air-toxics cancer risk
10 per million
in the bottom 2.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.
Full methodology ›Distance to a Superfund site
95.9 mi
in the top 3.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST39thUS96thDefinition & source ›

Lower is healthier
ST97thUS95thDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.
Full methodology ›Walkability
1.6 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 5.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST23rdUS5thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Subsidized affordable housing

0.18 per 1,000 residents
in the top 8.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST89thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›The read
Overall, ZIP 89445, one of several in Winnemucca, Nevada places in the bottom 39% nationally (19,610th) and the bottom 46% of Nevada (89th).
The measures that matter most for this area lead the way: distance to a community health center lands in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled arsenic stands in the top 2.2% nationally. Modeled fine-particle registers in the top 4.5% nationally, and disaster risk settles in the top 4.7% nationally. Walkability sits in the bottom 5.5% nationally. On the better side, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site rests in the top 3.9% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Subsidized affordable housing is in the top 6.6% nationally, and modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 7.2% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, slow internet speeds runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. 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 89446, 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 1.12 years of 77.7, 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.
