Oregon, Wisconsin (ZIP 53575), overall, ranks in the top 7.8% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,471st) and the top 4.2% of Wisconsin (32nd).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled utility shutoff lies in the bottom 5.7% nationally, short sleep stands in the bottom 5.8% nationally, and transportation rests in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Modeled food insecurity registers in the bottom 7.8% nationally, high cholesterol resides in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and high blood pressure settles in the bottom 6.7% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health is in the bottom 7.6% nationally. On the other side, distance to a Superfund site sits at the national minimum, and modeled binge drinking lands in the top 3.5% nationally. Modeled nitrate lies in the top 6.0% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. ZIP 53558, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 1.24 years of 81.0, 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.
