Industrial-pollution burden
in the top 3.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST90thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›Arsenic in groundwater
20.2%
in the top 6.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST74thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Slow internet speeds
1.6%
in the top 7.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The share of homes whose fastest available download speed is under 10 Mbps.
Full methodology ›Floodplain exposure
0.08%
in the bottom 7.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST9thUS7thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›Colon-cancer screening
72.7%
in the top 8.2% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST96thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults aged 45–75 who are up to date on colorectal-cancer screening.
Full methodology ›Radon
2.8 pCi/L
in the top 13.0% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST94thUS87thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Obesity
29.4%
in the bottom 15% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS15thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with obesity, defined as a body-mass index of 30 or higher.

Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Clarks Hill, Indiana (ZIP 47930) places in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,883rd) and the top 7.7% of Indiana (58th).
Where the data is kindest to this area, a few readings lead the way: floodplain exposure sits in the bottom 7.4% nationally, and modeled colon screening lies in the top 8.2% nationally. Modeled obesity rests in the bottom 15% nationally, and disaster risk resides in the bottom 17% nationally. On the other hand, modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the top 3.9% nationally, modeled arsenic lands in the top 6.4% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 7.4% nationally. Modeled radon registers in the top 13.0% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Housing-cost burden sits in the top 16% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 47981, about 0.5 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 1.04 years of 79.4, 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
