Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Riley, Indiana (ZIP 47871) sits in the top 48% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,421st) and the top 31% of Indiana (234th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: walkability rests in the top 0.4% nationally, modeled disaster risk sits in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss registers in the bottom 2.7% nationally. Floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum. Households without a vehicle resides at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Outer-floodplain exposure settles at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Working the other way, unemployment stands in the top 2.9% nationally, and crowded housing is in the top 8.6% nationally. Poverty rests in the top 16% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 47876, about 11 miles away, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.93 years of 79.2, 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.
