Newberry, Indiana (ZIP 47449), overall, ranks in the bottom 34% nationally (21,232nd) and the bottom 34% of Indiana (499th).
This area's measures are easy to read as a mixed set: homeownership is in the top 6.4% nationally. Crowded housing sits at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Outer-floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk lies in the bottom 18% nationally, and households without a vehicle stands in the bottom 18% nationally. Set against that, slow internet speeds rests in the top 4.3% nationally, and floodplain exposure registers in the top 8.0% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides in the top 8.0% nationally, and unemployment settles in the top 11.5% nationally. Modeled high cholesterol is in the top 10.2% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". ZIP 47424, just across the boundary, comes out 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 1.96 years of 80.7, 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.
