Full methodology ›The read
Grabill, Indiana (ZIP 46741), by its composite score, sits in the top 38% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,050th) and the top 19% of Indiana (143rd).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: poverty sits in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 9.3% nationally. Homeownership rests in the top 13.7% nationally, and modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 16% nationally. Unemployment is in the bottom 17% nationally. Pulling the other way, households without a vehicle lands in the top 2.5% nationally, modeled radon stands in the top 11.4% nationally, and modeled binge drinking registers in the top 8.8% nationally. Crowded housing settles in the top 15.0% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 16% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake.

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 1.05 years of 80.8, 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
