Full methodology ›The read
Lansing, Ohio (ZIP 43934) ranks in the bottom 25% nationally (24,071st) and the bottom 29% of Ohio (830th).
A number of readings press hard on the profile and set its tone: homeownership registers in the bottom 8.4% nationally, and outer-floodplain exposure lies in the top 8.9% nationally. Fiber broadband is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. On the brighter side, modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 0.9% nationally, housing-cost burden lies at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription is at the national maximum. Modeled expected annual loss registers in the bottom 4.3% nationally, and walkability lies in the top 6.9% nationally. Unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle registers at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs.
Against its neighbors, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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 closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 43912, 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 1.49 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. How distance is measured
