The number of civic and social organizations inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Oldenburg, Indiana (ZIP 47036), by its composite score, sits in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,623rd) and the top 17% of Indiana (129th).
The standout strengths in the data are the natural place to begin: civic lands in the top 4.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 10.7% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise registers at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled housing insecurity settles in the bottom 11.4% nationally, transportation sits in the bottom 12.4% nationally, and tree cover lies in the top 14.6% nationally. Modeled food insecurity rests in the bottom 17% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure resides at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. On the other side, distance to a community health center is in the top 12.1% nationally. Recreation lands at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
For anyone unfamiliar, loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain".

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 1.57 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.
