Floodplain exposure
90.1%
in the top 0.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

Full methodology ›The read
Griffin, Indiana (ZIP 47616) ranks in the bottom 44% nationally (17,984th) and the top 45% of Indiana (341st).
Several readings make the pressure on this area plain: floodplain exposure registers in the top 0.7% nationally, and modeled arsenic lies in the top 10.5% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. On the encouraging side, housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 4.2% nationally, modeled colon screening lies in the top 5.1% nationally, and homeownership is in the top 11.0% nationally. Home broadband subscription registers in the top 14.2% nationally. Crowded housing lies at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Outer-floodplain exposure is at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise registers in the bottom 18% nationally.
Against its neighbors, floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 47633, just across the boundary.

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 1.06 years of 80.5, 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.
