In overall standing, Laotto, Indiana (ZIP 46763) comes out in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,479th) and the top 20% of Indiana (149th).
Several readings land clearly in this area's favor and shape the picture: unemployment settles at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Poverty registers in the bottom 9.2% nationally, and homeownership stands in the top 10.7% nationally. Crowded housing lands at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled loneliness is in the bottom 17% nationally, and disaster risk resides in the bottom 17% nationally. Modeled transportation rests in the bottom 19% nationally. Set against that, modeled radon lies in the top 15% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the top 18% nationally.
In plain terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 46723, just across the boundary.

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 0.82 years of 78.5, 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.
