Crane, Indiana (ZIP 47522), overall, ranks in the bottom 44% nationally (17,874th) and the top 45% of Indiana (337th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled tree cover rests in the top 5.7% nationally, modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and housing-cost burden resides in the bottom 8.1% nationally. Fiber broadband settles in the top 8.8% nationally, and modeled transportation noise is in the bottom 10.8% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. On the other side, homeownership lands in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and slow internet speeds lies in the top 4.3% nationally. Poverty stands in the top 8.4% nationally, and modeled binge drinking rests in the top 9.8% 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. 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. ZIP 47462, 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 1.94 years of 79.3, 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.
