By its overall health score, Sturtevant, Wisconsin (ZIP 53177) lands in the top 31% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,858th) and the top 42% of Wisconsin (317th).
Taken together, the profile's clearest strengths surface right away: modeled mammography resides in the top 3.4% nationally, and high cholesterol lands in the bottom 4.5% nationally. Modeled loneliness registers in the bottom 16% nationally. Against that, modeled binge drinking sits in the top 8.3% nationally, crowded housing rests in the top 10.4% nationally, and modeled obesity is in the top 8.6% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 12.1% nationally, and transportation noise settles in the top 14.5% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Outer-floodplain exposure resides in the top 16% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 53126, 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 0.96 years of 78.9, 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.
