Overall, Summitville, Ohio (ZIP 43962) lands in the bottom 28% nationally (23,154th) and the bottom 33% of Ohio (783rd).
Several measures weigh most on this area's profile, and they come first: modeled high blood pressure sits in the top 7.5% nationally, and households without a vehicle is in the top 8.0% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease settles in the top 8.3% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to an emergency room registers in the top 9.9% nationally, home broadband subscription rests in the bottom 10.0% nationally, and modeled transportation noise stands in the top 10.3% nationally. On the better side, modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 2.4% nationally, and floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum. Unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs.
A note on the terms: expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 44607, about 6.2 miles away, ranks better overall.

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 1.14 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.
