The number of mental-health clinics located 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.

Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, West Harrison, Indiana (ZIP 47060) comes out in the top 33% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,610th) and the top 12.9% of Indiana (97th).
Several good marks anchor the profile and deserve first mention: mental-health providers registers in the top 7.3% nationally, modeled transportation stands in the bottom 15% nationally, and fiber broadband lands in the top 17% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity is in the bottom 17% nationally, homeownership resides in the top 20% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing rests in the top 20% nationally. By contrast, modeled pfas lies in the top 11.1% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 11.2% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Physicians registers at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs.
In plain terms, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. 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 hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 45053, 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 0.83 years of 78.8, 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.
