On the composite measure, Rome, Indiana (ZIP 47574) stands in the top 40% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,739th) and the top 21% of Indiana (158th).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: housing-cost burden registers at the national minimum, and poverty lies at the national minimum. Homeownership is at the national maximum, and home broadband subscription registers at the national maximum. Park land lies in the top 5.2% nationally, modeled transportation noise is in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 7.1% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle is at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. By contrast, crowded housing registers in the top 0.04% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, crowded housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, 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. ZIP 47525, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs 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 2.22 years of 80.1, 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.
