By the composite measure, Huron, Indiana (ZIP 47437) sits in the bottom 21% nationally (25,196th) and the bottom 14.1% of Indiana (651st).
Where this area is stretched, the data is unambiguous: modeled tooth loss registers in the top 1.4% nationally, housing-cost burden lands at the national maximum, and homeownership resides at the national minimum. Poverty lies in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled mammography settles in the bottom 4.5% nationally. Better still, fiber broadband stands at the national maximum, and modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 2.4% nationally. Home broadband subscription rests at the national maximum, and modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Modeled tree cover registers in the top 5.3% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. ZIP 47446, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.32 years of 80.0, 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.
