What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Fatal road crashes
43.5 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 5.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST98thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 65 decibels — around the volume of normal conversation.

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.
Full methodology ›The read
Coloma, Wisconsin (ZIP 54930) ranks in the bottom 40% nationally (19,260th) and the bottom 13.3% of Wisconsin (662nd).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: fiber broadband rests in the top 10.5% nationally, and modeled short sleep lands in the bottom 17% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure settles at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Modeled loneliness rests in the bottom 19% nationally. Working the other way, fatal road crashes lands in the top 5.7% nationally, modeled loud transportation noise settles in the top 9.8% nationally, and walkability rests in the bottom 17% nationally. Recreation lands at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle settles in the top 18% nationally. Physicians rests at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs.
For context, 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. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 53964, just across the boundary.

Clean environment, heavy chronic burden
Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions
Environmental-hazard standing 78.0; chronic-disease standing 26.9 — 51 points apart, cleaner on the environment than it is on chronic illness.
Ranked #2,404 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.

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.
