Hewitt, Wisconsin (ZIP 54441), by its overall standing, sits in the top 24% healthiest ZIPs nationally (7,646th) and the top 28% of Wisconsin (217th).
The data is generous to this ZIP in several places worth naming: modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 3.0% nationally, modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 5.9% nationally, and housing-cost burden is in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Poverty resides in the bottom 8.3% nationally, floodplain exposure rests in the bottom 8.4% nationally, and modeled utility shutoff lies in the bottom 12.2% nationally. Modeled mammography sits in the top 12.9% nationally, and humid heat settles in the bottom 16% nationally. Working the other way, modeled binge drinking registers in the top 3.9% nationally.

Held up against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". 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 54455, about 9.3 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 1.34 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.
