Leopold, Indiana (ZIP 47551), by its composite score, sits in the top 43% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,632nd) and the top 24% of Indiana (184th).
Where the data is kindest to this area, a few readings lead the way: park land resides in the top 3.6% nationally, and poverty is in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Home broadband subscription lands in the top 7.7% nationally, and modeled tree cover stands in the top 8.1% nationally. Modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 8.4% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 12.4% nationally. Crowded housing sits at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other hand, distance to an emergency room lies in the top 4.9% nationally, distance to a nursing home rests in the top 12.0% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 14.0% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby.

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 0.94 years of 75.0, 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.
