The read
Westport, Indiana (ZIP 47283), in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 37% nationally (20,270th) and the bottom 41% of Indiana (450th).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: outer-floodplain exposure sits at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 22% nationally, and civic resides in the top 25% nationally. Against that, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic stands in the top 17% nationally. Recreation resides at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Unemployment sits in the top 18% nationally. Physicians stands at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs. Fiber broadband resides in the bottom 24% nationally. Park land sits at the national minimum, shared with about 48% of ZIPs.
Defined simply, for reference, 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 47037, 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 1.74 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.
