Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Somerset, Wisconsin (ZIP 54025) ranks in the top 18% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,880th) and the top 18% of Wisconsin (136th).
A number of measures pull each way for this area: modeled high cholesterol rests in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and utility shutoff stands in the bottom 9.7% nationally. Modeled stroke lies in the bottom 8.3% nationally, and mobility disability lands in the bottom 10.4% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease sits in the bottom 10.9% nationally, and diabetes is in the bottom 8.8% nationally. Set against that, modeled binge drinking settles in the top 1.7% nationally, nitrate resides in the top 7.4% nationally, and fine-particle registers in the top 10.1% nationally. Distance to a community health center rests in the top 11.0% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Close by, ZIP 54016, just across the boundary, ranks 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 1.25 years of 80.2, 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.
