Goodman, Wisconsin (ZIP 54125), on the composite measure, lands in the top 47% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,111th) and the bottom 30% of Wisconsin (534th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
What works most in this area's favor shows up clearly across the measures: modeled colon screening registers in the top 2.7% nationally, modeled air-toxics cancer risk lands in the bottom 5.1% nationally, and park land resides in the top 5.8% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies in the top 6.3% nationally, modeled loneliness settles in the bottom 6.8% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 7.6% nationally. Modeled humid heat is in the bottom 9.4% nationally. Working the other way, modeled coronary heart disease rests in the top 5.1% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled hearing disability registers in the top 9.4% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 54120, 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 1.69 years of 77.9, 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.
