Full methodology ›The read
Roberts, Wisconsin (ZIP 54023), overall, ranks in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,429th) and the top 21% of Wisconsin (163rd).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: fiber broadband sits in the top 6.2% nationally, modeled high cholesterol lands in the bottom 5.3% nationally, and modeled arsenic lies in the bottom 9.6% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff stands in the bottom 10.9% nationally, hearing disability rests in the bottom 12.1% nationally, and mobility disability registers in the bottom 11.4% nationally. On the other side, modeled binge drinking resides in the top 2.3% nationally, and distance to a community health center settles in the top 9.1% nationally. Modeled fine-particle is in the top 11.7% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 11.9% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. ZIP 54015, 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 1.04 years of 79.4, 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. How distance is measured
