Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 53143, one of several in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in overall standing, comes out in the bottom 46% nationally (17,393rd) and the bottom 21% of Wisconsin (601st).
An even profile, with readings pulling both ways: distance to an emergency room sits at the national minimum, shared with about 11% of ZIPs. Walkability stands in the top 7.3% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol resides in the bottom 7.4% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Elder services stands in the top 11.5% nationally, and fatal road crashes resides in the bottom 12.1% nationally. Against that, modeled expected annual loss sits in the top 4.0% nationally, and disaster risk stands in the top 11.0% nationally. Modeled obesity resides in the top 8.3% nationally, and binge drinking sits in the top 10.5% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 53142, 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

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.
