Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Mount Summit, Indiana (ZIP 47361) lands in the bottom 48% nationally (16,563rd) and the top 36% of Indiana (276th).
The measures that press hardest set the tone here: modeled transportation noise is in the top 3.7% nationally, and tree cover stands at the national minimum. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled short sleep lies in the top 10.5% nationally. On the stronger side, walkability resides in the top 0.06% nationally, modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss registers in the bottom 1.3% nationally. Floodplain exposure sits at the national minimum. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise is at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 47360, about 3.5 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 1.50 years of 80.9, 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.
