Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Malinta, Ohio (ZIP 43535) stands in the bottom 45% nationally (17,608th) and the top 41% of Ohio (482nd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled disaster risk sits in the bottom 4.5% nationally. Households without a vehicle resides at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site stands in the top 11.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden sits in the bottom 14.0% nationally. Crowded housing resides at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, unemployment stands in the top 5.4% nationally, home broadband subscription sits in the bottom 7.6% nationally, and modeled radon resides in the top 17% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the top 17% nationally. Recreation sits at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
For clarity, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. ZIP 43527, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 1.41 years of 79.2, 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.
