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
On the composite measure, Newburgh, Indiana (ZIP 47630) stands in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,465th) and the top 6.0% of Indiana (45th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: distance to an emergency room lands at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation settles in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and food insecurity rests in the bottom 7.3% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity lands in the bottom 8.1% nationally, modeled independent living disability settles in the bottom 9.2% nationally, and physicians rests in the top 12.6% nationally. Working the other way, modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 0.05% nationally, expected annual loss settles in the top 10.5% nationally, and disaster risk rests in the top 11.7% nationally. Floodplain exposure lands in the top 12.2% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. ZIP 47725, about 2.9 miles away, 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 0.74 years of 80.7, 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.
