The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Dutch Harbor, Alaska (ZIP 99692) places in the top 21% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,717th) and the top 8.1% of Alaska (17th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: distance to a Superfund site lands in the top 0.2% nationally, and modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the bottom 0.2% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss registers in the bottom 3.2% nationally, and independent living disability settles in the bottom 4.2% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled energy burden sits in the top 0.01% nationally, distance to a nursing home lies in the top 0.02% nationally, and distance to an emergency room rests in the top 0.06% nationally. Homeownership resides at the national minimum, modeled colon screening is in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and modeled mammography lands in the bottom 7.6% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, distance to a nursing home 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 99615, about 516 miles away.

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 1.82 years of 79.5, 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.
