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 ›The read
Yeoman, Indiana (ZIP 47997) ranks in the bottom 43% nationally (18,415th) and the top 47% of Indiana (358th).
The weightiest signals in the profile are worth naming up front: modeled tree cover rests at the national minimum, and arsenic lands in the top 5.9% nationally. More positively, modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and disaster risk rests in the bottom 2.1% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lands at the national minimum, and floodplain exposure settles at the national minimum. Unemployment rests at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Home broadband subscription lands in the top 9.3% nationally, walkability settles in the top 10.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 10.2% nationally.
Against its neighbors, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 47923, about 2.5 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

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
