Overall, Whitestown, Indiana (ZIP 46075) places in the top 5.4% healthiest ZIPs nationally (1,713th) and the top 1.0% of Indiana (7th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled coronary heart disease settles in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and stroke sits in the bottom 2.0% nationally. Modeled hearing disability lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and mobility disability rests in the bottom 2.7% nationally. Modeled independent living disability resides in the bottom 3.1% nationally, self-care disability is in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and high blood pressure lands in the bottom 5.2% nationally. Modeled diabetes stands in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and fair or poor health registers in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled arsenic settles in the top 0.7% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, arsenic runs far higher 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. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 46077, 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 1.58 years of 82.4, 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. How distance is measured
