What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Recreation access
1.5 per 1,000 residents
in the top 3.6% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS96thDefinition & source ›
The number of places for physical recreation — gyms, sports, and fitness venues — 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 ›Natural-disaster risk
in the bottom 5.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST17thUS5thDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.

10.5 mi
in the top 13.3% nationally
Higher is healthier

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest facility that handles enough hazardous chemicals to require an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.

Full methodology ›The read
Put-in-Bay, Ohio (ZIP 43456), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 48% nationally (16,582nd) and the top 38% of Ohio (449th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: recreation registers in the top 3.6% nationally, and modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies in the top 13.3% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 13.7% nationally. Working the other way, fiber broadband stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the top 10.7% nationally, and unemployment rests in the top 13.1% nationally. Poverty sits in the top 14.1% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol registers in the top 10.6% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, industrial-pollution burden runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, 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. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 43452, about 2.8 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.
