Frankfort, Indiana (ZIP 46041), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 30% nationally (22,563rd) and the bottom 28% of Indiana (542nd).
The measures that matter most for this area lead the way: modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 0.8% nationally, and arsenic registers in the top 1.0% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss settles in the top 9.6% nationally, and radon sits in the top 14.8% nationally. Modeled disaster risk lies in the top 14.2% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. On the better side, distance to an emergency room resides at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center is at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home lands at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 14.4% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 46035, 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 0.91 years of 77.6, 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.
