Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Lagro, Indiana (ZIP 46941) lands in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,802nd) and the top 13.1% of Indiana (99th).
A number of signals point in a favorable direction for this area: poverty registers in the bottom 11.4% nationally, and modeled transportation sits in the bottom 13.7% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity rests in the bottom 16% nationally, and disaster risk is in the bottom 18% nationally. Working the other way, modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 5.7% nationally, arsenic settles in the top 6.4% nationally, and transportation noise lies in the top 10.6% nationally. Unemployment resides in the top 13.5% nationally, and modeled radon lands in the top 16% nationally. Recreation registers at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
To translate a couple of 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 46783, about 13 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 1.58 years of 79.6, 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.
