The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Weyauwega, Wisconsin (ZIP 54983), on the composite measure, lands in the top 41% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,216th) and the bottom 38% of Wisconsin (470th).
Reading across the measures, this area's clearest strengths come through: modeled mammography sits in the top 8.7% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled loneliness lands in the bottom 16% nationally, and utility shutoff resides in the bottom 18% nationally. Modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 20% nationally. By contrast, modeled binge drinking settles in the top 6.2% nationally, and arsenic stands in the top 12.6% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure rests in the top 16% nationally, and fatal road crashes sits in the top 17% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. 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. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 54940, 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 0.80 years of 78.6, 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.
