Full methodology ›The read
New Harmony, Indiana (ZIP 47631) ranks in the bottom 43% nationally (18,293rd) and the top 46% of Indiana (351st).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: pharmacy stands in the top 4.6% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled colon screening resides in the top 11.5% nationally, and households without a vehicle stands in the bottom 17% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure sits at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. By contrast, distance to an emergency room resides in the top 9.0% nationally, floodplain exposure stands in the top 15% nationally, and modeled high blood pressure sits in the top 13.9% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 15% nationally, and high cholesterol stands in the top 12.6% nationally.
For context, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 47616, 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 1.12 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. How distance is measured
