Grocery access
0.35 per 1,000 residents
in the top 2.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST96thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Cornell, Wisconsin (ZIP 54732) lands in the bottom 42% nationally (18,448th) and the bottom 17% of Wisconsin (635th).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: grocery lands in the top 2.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise registers at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home sits at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat rests in the bottom 15% nationally. Against that, modeled binge drinking is in the top 10.5% nationally, modeled obesity stands in the top 9.4% nationally, and walkability settles in the bottom 12.8% nationally. Modeled fine-particle lies in the top 13.8% nationally, and distance to a community health center resides in the top 17% nationally. Recreation lands at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
To translate a couple of terms, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 54724, 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 0.75 years of 80.5, 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.
