ST93rdUS89thDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”
Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Darmstadt, Indiana (ZIP 47725) comes out in the top 18% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,752nd) and the top 5.2% of Indiana (39th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: modeled transportation lands in the bottom 4.4% nationally, housing insecurity is in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and food insecurity resides in the bottom 6.2% nationally. Homeownership rests in the top 6.3% nationally, modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 7.3% nationally, and modeled mammography sits in the top 5.5% nationally. Modeled independent living disability settles in the bottom 6.0% nationally, and colon screening registers in the top 7.6% nationally. Grocery stands in the top 11.0% nationally. By contrast, modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 0.3% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Locally, no neighbor ranks healthier overall than this ZIP.

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 0.98 years of 83.9, 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
