Radon
3.3 pCi/L
in the top 6.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST82ndUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Arsenic in groundwater
1.1%
in the bottom 4.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS5thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.

Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Norwich, Ohio (ZIP 43767) lands in the top 46% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,592nd) and the top 30% of Ohio (351st).
A number of signals point in a favorable direction for this area: modeled arsenic sits in the bottom 4.6% nationally, and homeownership rests in the top 5.1% nationally. Households without a vehicle is at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Floodplain exposure stands in the bottom 12.4% nationally. Crowded housing settles at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled colon screening lies in the top 11.9% nationally, poverty resides in the bottom 17% nationally, and recreation lands in the top 17% nationally. Working the other way, modeled radon registers in the top 6.6% nationally, and obesity sits in the top 11.7% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 43762, 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 0.98 years of 78.2, 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.
