contents Let $(M,g)$ be an $n$-dimensional asymptotically flat Riemannian manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature that admits a noncompact area-minimizing hypersurface $Σ\subset M$. In the case where $n = 3$, O. Chodosh and the first-named author have proven that $(M, g)$ is necessarily isometric to Euclidean space, confirming a conjecture of R. Schoen. In this paper, we extend this result to dimension $3 < n \leq 7$ provided that $Σ$ arises as a limit of isoperimetric surfaces. By contrast, we prove that when $3 < n \leq 7$, there is no such result for general noncompact area-minimizing $Σ\subset M$, even when additional assumptions on the stability of $Σ$ are imposed.
