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.

Delphi, Indiana (ZIP 46923), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 28% nationally (23,155th) and the bottom 25% of Indiana (571st).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: distance to a community health center lands at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home is at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled transportation noise resides in the top 7.6% nationally, and arsenic rests in the top 8.5% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies in the top 9.1% nationally, and obesity sits in the top 8.6% nationally. Modeled radon settles in the top 14.8% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden registers in the top 14.3% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Slow internet speeds lands in the top 20% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 46065, 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 0.97 years of 79.0, 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.
