Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Dodge, Wisconsin (ZIP 54625) sits in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,009th) and the bottom 50% of Wisconsin (385th).
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled loneliness is in the bottom 1.9% nationally, utility shutoff rests in the bottom 8.6% nationally, and mammography sits in the top 7.8% nationally. Modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 13.4% nationally, and pfas lands in the bottom 13.6% nationally. On the other hand, modeled transportation noise resides in the top 5.1% nationally, and loud transportation noise lies in the top 8.4% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled binge drinking stands in the top 9.8% nationally, and radon is in the top 13.4% nationally.
In plain language, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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. ZIP 54630, about 1.8 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 2.21 years of 86.8, 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.
