Overall, ZIP 68107, one of several in Omaha, Nebraska lands in the bottom 21% nationally (25,396th) and the bottom 1.5% of Nebraska (558th).
Several measures weigh most on this area's profile, and they come first: modeled uninsured settles in the top 1.1% nationally, and colon screening resides in the bottom 2.1% nationally. Lead in tap water registers in the top 1.3% nationally, and crowded housing rests in the top 3.8% nationally. Modeled vision disability stands in the top 6.0% nationally, food insecurity lies in the top 4.3% nationally, and housing insecurity lands in the top 4.5% nationally. Modeled transportation sits in the top 5.8% nationally, and expected annual loss is in the top 6.3% nationally. On the better side, subsidized affordable housing settles in the top 2.6% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 51501, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 0.77 years of 76.2, 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
