Arsenic in groundwater
23%
in the top 5.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST79thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Homeownership rate
97.8%
in the top 5.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST95thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.
Full methodology ›Natural-disaster risk
in the bottom 6.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST14thUS7thDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.
Full methodology ›Child-care access
0.56 per 1,000 residents
in the top 8.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST95thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of child day-care services inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Radon
3 pCi/L
in the top 11.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS89thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Loneliness
29.8%
in the bottom 21% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST7thUS21stDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report feeling lonely.
Full methodology ›Short sleep

The estimated share of adults who usually sleep less than seven hours in a 24-hour period.
Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Hoagland, Indiana (ZIP 46745) places in the top 44% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,002nd) and the top 25% of Indiana (193rd).
Where the data is kindest to this area, a few readings lead the way: homeownership rests in the top 5.9% nationally, and modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 6.7% nationally. Households without a vehicle is at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Childcare lands in the top 8.5% nationally. Crowded housing stands at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Dental providers registers in the top 20% nationally, and housing-cost burden settles in the bottom 20% nationally. On the other hand, modeled arsenic sits in the top 5.1% nationally, and radon lies in the top 11.0% nationally. Physicians rests at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far lower 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 46777, about 0.8 miles away.

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 1.72 years of 81.2, 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
