Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Plover, Wisconsin (ZIP 54467) places in the top 19% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,027th) and the top 18% of Wisconsin (140th).
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: modeled mammography lies in the top 5.5% nationally, and high blood pressure rests in the bottom 7.3% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff resides in the bottom 10.9% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing is in the top 14.5% nationally. Modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 14.8% nationally, dental providers stands in the top 15.0% nationally, and modeled diabetes registers in the bottom 11.5% nationally. On the other side, modeled pfas settles in the top 2.1% nationally, nitrate sits in the top 3.3% nationally, and binge drinking lies in the top 5.8% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Nitrate is a groundwater compound from fertilizer, manure, and sewage, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 54482, 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

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
