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.
Outpatient-care access
0.5 per 1,000 residents
in the top 8.0% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST95thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of outpatient clinics located 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 ›Grocery access
0.17 per 1,000 residents
in the top 10.0% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST93rdUS90thDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets 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. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”
Full methodology ›High cholesterol
41.7%
in the top 18% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST95thUS82ndDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with high cholesterol, among those who have ever been screened for it.
Full methodology ›Dry extreme heat
0.1 days/year

Lower is healthier
ST5thUS22ndDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.
Full methodology ›Fine-particle (PM2.5) exceedance
0.27%

Lower is healthier
ST98thUS77thDefinition & source ›
The share of days in the year when modeled fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution was above the EPA’s daily limit of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.
Full methodology ›The read
Bridgeport, Ohio (ZIP 43912) ranks in the bottom 27% nationally (23,264th) and the bottom 33% of Ohio (788th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: outpatient resides in the top 8.0% nationally, and grocery stands in the top 10.0% nationally. Distance to a nursing home sits at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover resides in the top 18% nationally, and subsidized affordable housing stands in the top 18% nationally. Working the other way, modeled radon sits in the top 19% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 18% nationally, and fiber broadband stands in the bottom 20% nationally. Modeled obesity sits in the top 19% nationally. Childcare resides at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs.
For context, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 43905, 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 0.99 years of 77.0, 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.
