Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Monroe, Indiana (ZIP 46772) sits in the bottom 20% nationally (25,780th) and the bottom 12.1% of Indiana (666th).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: housing-cost burden lands in the bottom 8.3% nationally, modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 15% nationally, and homeownership settles in the top 15% nationally. Against that, households without a vehicle lands in the top 2.2% nationally, home broadband subscription rests in the bottom 3.5% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability settles in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled colon screening lands in the bottom 9.7% nationally, and arsenic rests in the top 12.0% nationally. Modeled radon settles in the top 14.5% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Put plainly, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 45898, 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 1.50 years of 81.5, 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.
