The read

Lemoyne, Nebraska (ZIP 69146), on the composite measure, lands in the top 38% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,153rd) and the bottom 39% of Nebraska (346th), based on limited data; treat as directional.

The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 0.5% nationally, fiber broadband settles at the national maximum, and modeled short sleep stands in the bottom 0.5% nationally. Modeled housing insecurity is in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and utility shutoff rests in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Working the other way, distance to a community health center sits in the top 0.2% nationally, and modeled hearing disability registers in the top 1.1% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease lands in the top 1.8% nationally, and energy burden resides in the top 3.0% nationally. Modeled arsenic lies in the top 3.7% nationally.

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 community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 69127, just across the boundary.

“Share” is how much of this ZIP’s score the domain accounts for. Percentages are rounded; higher is healthier in every domain. How the score works, and who it compares you with ›

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.56 years of 79.5, 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.
