Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, North Judson, Indiana (ZIP 46366) sits in the bottom 29% nationally (22,611th) and the bottom 28% of Indiana (545th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: outer-floodplain exposure settles at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk stands in the bottom 25% nationally. Working the other way, modeled arsenic is in the top 12.4% nationally, and obesity rests in the top 16% nationally. Modeled short sleep sits in the top 18% nationally. Childcare registers at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure lands in the top 24% nationally. Park land resides at the national minimum, shared with about 48% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle lies in the top 24% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol settles in the top 23% nationally.
In plain language, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". ZIP 46960, about 1.1 miles away, ranks healthier overall.

Below what income predicts
The ZIP codes that outlive their incomes
Estimated life expectancy is 75.7 ± 2.2 years. A median household income of $60,182 predicts 78.1 years — 2.4 years below.
Ranked #3,260 of the 5,842 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by years above what income predicts, highest first.
Clean environment, heavy chronic burden
Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions
Environmental-hazard standing 82.3; chronic-disease standing 22.2 — 60 points apart, cleaner on the environment than it is on chronic illness.
Ranked #1,719 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.

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 1.14 years of 75.7, 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.
