New Middletown, Indiana (ZIP 47160), on the composite measure, lands in the top 35% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,380th) and the top 16% of Indiana (120th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 2.6% nationally, housing-cost burden is in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and modeled stroke rests in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 7.4% nationally, and coronary heart disease registers in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Households without a vehicle lands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled hearing disability resides in the bottom 8.1% nationally. Working the other way, crowded housing lies in the top 1.1% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the top 6.3% nationally. Modeled binge drinking stands in the top 7.0% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 47136, about 3.2 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 2.11 years of 81.2, 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
