The data is generous to this ZIP in several places worth naming: mental-health providers settles in the top 3.2% nationally, outpatient registers in the top 3.9% nationally, and physicians stands in the top 4.1% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Civic is in the top 7.6% nationally, and childcare resides in the top 8.8% nationally. Subsidized affordable housing rests in the top 11.0% nationally, and pharmacy lies in the top 12.9% nationally. Working the other way, modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 2.7% nationally, and distance to a community health center settles in the top 10.7% nationally.

Held up against its neighbors, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 47036, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.77 years of 80.6, 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.
