Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Cayuga, Indiana (ZIP 47928) lands in the bottom 24% nationally (24,485th) and the bottom 17% of Indiana (625th).
The measures that press hardest set the tone here: fatal road crashes rests in the top 9.8% nationally, and distance to a nursing home is in the top 10.6% nationally. Floodplain exposure stands in the top 10.9% nationally, and modeled arsenic settles in the top 12.2% nationally. On the stronger side, outpatient lies in the top 1.4% nationally, elder services resides in the top 2.0% nationally, and pharmacy lands in the top 3.7% nationally. Childcare registers in the top 7.7% nationally, and civic sits in the top 10.3% nationally. Distance to a community health center rests at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs.
To translate a couple of terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 47847, 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 1.31 years of 78.8, 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.
