Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Middle Amana, Iowa (ZIP 52307) comes out in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,556th) and the top 12.7% of Iowa (117th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: fiber broadband registers at the national maximum, park land stands in the top 1.0% nationally, and modeled colon screening lands in the top 1.0% nationally. Home broadband subscription is at the national maximum, modeled expected annual loss resides in the bottom 3.5% nationally, and modeled short sleep rests in the bottom 2.7% nationally. By contrast, homeownership lies in the bottom 1.5% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure sits in the top 2.0% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the top 2.8% nationally, and floodplain exposure registers in the top 2.9% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 52203, 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 1.41 years of 80.6, 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
