The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Combined Locks, Wisconsin (ZIP 54113) ranks in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,155th) and the top 14.2% of Wisconsin (108th).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: fiber broadband stands at the national maximum, and modeled utility shutoff lies in the bottom 5.0% nationally. Modeled transportation lands in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and poverty sits in the bottom 6.9% nationally. Modeled food insecurity is in the bottom 8.7% nationally, modeled housing insecurity settles in the bottom 9.5% nationally, and fatal road crashes resides in the bottom 9.6% nationally. Modeled energy burden registers in the bottom 7.4% nationally. Set against that, modeled binge drinking rests in the top 1.7% nationally, and fine-particle stands in the top 11.7% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Close by, ZIP 54913, about 1.4 miles away, 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 1.72 years of 80.5, 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
