Full methodology ›The read
Gypsum, Ohio (ZIP 43433), in overall standing, comes out in the top 41% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,284th) and the top 25% of Ohio (290th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 1.3% nationally, modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 6.0% nationally, and floodplain exposure registers in the bottom 9.4% nationally. Modeled hearing disability is in the bottom 14.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site lies in the top 16% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. On the other hand, modeled loud transportation noise is in the top 0.04% nationally, and transportation noise lies in the top 0.3% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the top 4.8% nationally, and obesity is in the top 13.4% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, loud transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 43440, about 1.7 miles away.

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.
