Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Springbrook, Wisconsin (ZIP 54875) sits in the bottom 42% nationally (18,625th) and the bottom 15% of Wisconsin (645th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: civic resides in the top 4.9% nationally, modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 10.5% nationally, and recreation settles in the top 10.8% nationally. Modeled tree cover stands in the top 17% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is in the top 17% nationally. Working the other way, walkability rests in the bottom 6.6% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled fine-particle registers in the top 11.7% nationally, and coronary heart disease lands in the top 10.5% nationally. Distance to an emergency room resides in the top 14.4% nationally.
In plain language, fine-particle is fine airborne particles about one-thirtieth the width of a hair, counted on modeled days above the EPA standard. 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 54801, just across the boundary, 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 1.78 years of 77.0, 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.
