In overall standing, Old Washington, Ohio (ZIP 43768) comes out in the top 46% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,681st) and the top 30% of Ohio (358th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 2.6% nationally, floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum, and modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 3.3% nationally. Fiber broadband lands in the top 3.3% nationally, walkability is in the top 11.0% nationally, and modeled mammography resides in the top 13.6% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure rests at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. By contrast, unemployment lies in the top 1.7% nationally, and homeownership sits in the bottom 16% nationally. Modeled transportation noise settles in the top 19% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 43762, about 12 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 1.38 years of 79.0, 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.
