Full methodology ›The read
Hopewell, Ohio (ZIP 43746), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 48% nationally (16,516th) and the top 38% of Ohio (445th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: recreation lies in the top 14.1% nationally. Crowded housing sits at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 17% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. By contrast, poverty stands in the top 5.2% nationally, and modeled radon lands in the top 11.0% nationally. Unemployment is in the top 10.1% nationally, and household income resides in the bottom 8.0% nationally. Modeled short sleep rests in the top 14.9% nationally, and housing-cost burden lies in the top 17% nationally.
Defined in plain terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 43056, just across the boundary.

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 1.28 years of 77.8, 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.
