Fatal road crashes
50.6 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 3.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Full methodology ›The read
Birdseye, Indiana (ZIP 47513), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 41% nationally (18,935th) and the bottom 49% of Indiana (387th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled tree cover stands in the top 12.0% nationally, and park land registers in the top 14.2% nationally. Unemployment settles in the bottom 17% nationally, and households without a vehicle sits in the bottom 17% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure lies at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Homeownership rests in the top 19% nationally. Pulling the other way, fatal road crashes resides in the top 3.7% nationally, home broadband subscription is in the bottom 6.1% nationally, and modeled transportation noise lands in the top 13.4% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 19% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume.

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 1.46 years of 79.6, 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.
