Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, New Amsterdam, Indiana (ZIP 47110) sits in the bottom 29% nationally (22,711th) and the bottom 27% of Indiana (550th).
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: modeled disaster risk settles in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Households without a vehicle lands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 8.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure settles in the bottom 11.0% nationally. Modeled arsenic lands in the bottom 13.3% nationally. Crowded housing rests at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Unemployment settles in the bottom 15% nationally. On the other hand, modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 2.8% nationally, obesity rests in the top 2.9% nationally, and loud transportation noise settles in the top 8.3% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 47112, 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 2.14 years of 80.4, 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. How distance is measured
