Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Craigville, Indiana (ZIP 46731) stands in the top 41% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,138th) and the top 23% of Indiana (174th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: poverty rests at the national minimum, and modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Homeownership rests in the top 10.3% nationally, floodplain exposure lands in the bottom 10.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription settles in the top 14.1% nationally. Crowded housing rests at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled arsenic lands in the top 7.7% nationally, walkability settles in the bottom 11.9% nationally, and modeled obesity rests in the top 10.9% nationally.
For clarity, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 46777, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 3.16 years of 85.1, 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.
