By the composite health measure, Boggstown, Indiana (ZIP 46110) ranks in the bottom 50% nationally (16,166th) and the top 34% of Indiana (255th).
Several measures weigh most on this area's profile, and they come first: modeled arsenic is in the top 2.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 5.0% nationally. Unemployment resides in the top 12.0% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol registers in the top 9.8% nationally. On the better side, poverty rests at the national minimum, homeownership stands at the national maximum, and housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Households without a vehicle lands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 12.1% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Close by, ZIP 46259, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 2.85 years of 81.6, 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.
