By its overall health score, Jerry City, Ohio (ZIP 43437) lands in the bottom 39% nationally (19,671st) and the top 50% of Ohio (584th).
Where this area bears down hardest, the measures speak first: modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 12.3% nationally, and pfas rests in the top 14.0% nationally. Modeled obesity is in the top 12.5% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 0.7% nationally, modeled transportation noise settles at the national minimum, and floodplain exposure lies at the national minimum. Modeled expected annual loss resides in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Households without a vehicle lands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs.

To translate a couple of terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 43466, about 1.0 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

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 0.89 years of 78.1, 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.
