On the composite measure, Cornucopia, Wisconsin (ZIP 54827) stands in the top 37% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,737th) and the bottom 47% of Wisconsin (407th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers in the top 1.3% nationally, and modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 2.5% nationally. Homeownership is at the national maximum, and modeled colon screening registers in the top 2.7% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 5.2% nationally, humid heat is in the bottom 6.5% nationally, and tree cover registers in the top 6.6% nationally. Modeled mammography lies in the top 4.7% nationally. On the other side, modeled coronary heart disease is in the top 3.0% nationally, and high cholesterol registers in the top 2.3% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, 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. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 54844, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.84 years of 80.9, 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.
