Ellison Bay, Wisconsin (ZIP 54210), by its overall standing, sits in the top 8.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,595th) and the top 4.5% of Wisconsin (34th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: modeled loneliness stands in the bottom 0.2% nationally, housing insecurity lands in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and utility shutoff is in the bottom 0.3% nationally. Modeled transportation resides in the bottom 0.6% nationally, food insecurity rests in the bottom 0.9% nationally, and humid heat lies in the bottom 1.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 2.6% nationally, and modeled colon screening settles in the top 1.3% nationally. Modeled mammography registers in the top 1.7% nationally. By contrast, distance to an emergency room stands in the top 2.2% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 49654, about 43 miles away.

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 3.37 years of 81.2, 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.
