The number of public-transit stops 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.

Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, ZIP 68102, one of several in Omaha, Nebraska stands in the top 29% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,399th) and the top 40% of Nebraska (228th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled high cholesterol stands in the bottom 1.4% nationally, and transit sits in the top 0.6% nationally. Civic resides in the top 0.8% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 2.9% nationally. Outpatient sits in the top 3.4% nationally, and modeled high blood pressure resides in the bottom 3.7% nationally. On the other side, modeled binge drinking stands in the top 0.9% nationally, lead in tap water sits in the top 1.4% nationally, and homeownership resides in the bottom 1.7% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site stands at the national minimum.
Set beside the wider area around it, civic runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. ZIP 68132, about 1.7 miles away, 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 1.70 years of 74.8, 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. How distance is measured
