Judged by its overall standing, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin (ZIP 53158) sits in the top 17% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,394th) and the top 16% of Wisconsin (119th).
A few measures carry most of this area's good news: modeled utility shutoff sits in the bottom 6.6% nationally, mammography stands in the top 5.2% nationally, and tooth loss resides in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Elder services sits in the top 13.4% nationally, and modeled food insecurity stands in the bottom 13.5% nationally. Distance to a nursing home resides at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation sits in the bottom 13.7% nationally. Set against that, modeled expected annual loss stands in the top 5.6% nationally, and binge drinking resides in the top 6.2% nationally. Modeled pfas sits in the top 10.7% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 53104, less than a tenth of a mile 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 0.99 years of 79.2, 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.
