Bunker Hill, Indiana (ZIP 46914), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 30% nationally (22,418th) and the bottom 29% of Indiana (538th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: housing-cost burden lies in the bottom 11.1% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol rests in the bottom 9.1% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled obesity resides in the top 1.8% nationally, and binge drinking is in the top 4.2% nationally. Modeled arsenic lands in the top 4.7% nationally, and short sleep stands in the top 8.0% nationally. Fiber broadband registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled utility shutoff settles in the top 11.1% nationally, radon sits in the top 14.6% nationally, and housing insecurity lies in the top 13.8% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, 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. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 46911, 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 1.87 years of 80.1, 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.
