With coverage still partial across the sources, for Gillett Grove, Iowa (ZIP 51341), health standing is not ranked here — the available data is too limited to place it confidently.
The partial picture points to a handful of readings, with caveats: modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 1.6% nationally, modeled transportation noise is at the national minimum, and homeownership sits at the national maximum. Modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 3.2% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Poverty rests in the bottom 8.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 8.4% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 9.2% nationally.

Measured against the nearby ZIPs, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, 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.
