Judged by its overall standing, Battle Ground, Indiana (ZIP 47920) sits in the top 18% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,799th) and the top 5.3% of Indiana (40th).
A few measures carry most of this area's good news: modeled transportation stands in the bottom 9.9% nationally, colon screening resides in the top 7.6% nationally, and housing insecurity sits in the bottom 11.4% nationally. Modeled food insecurity stands in the bottom 11.6% nationally, disaster risk resides in the bottom 13.7% nationally, and independent living disability sits in the bottom 11.2% nationally. Home broadband subscription stands in the top 15% nationally. Set against that, modeled arsenic resides in the top 13.4% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 14.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 47924, about 2.0 miles away.

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 0.73 years of 75.7, 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.
