Full methodology ›The read
Wyocena, Wisconsin (ZIP 53969), by its composite score, sits in the top 46% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,806th) and the bottom 31% of Wisconsin (523rd).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled utility shutoff lies in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and disaster risk rests in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 5.8% nationally, and housing insecurity is in the bottom 7.4% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss lands in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled hearing disability stands in the top 2.6% nationally, modeled coronary heart disease registers in the top 3.6% nationally, and floodplain exposure settles in the top 5.6% nationally. Distance to a community health center sits in the top 7.3% nationally, and modeled stroke lies in the top 7.8% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 53954, 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 2.35 years of 83.4, 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.
