By the composite health measure, Piedmont, Ohio (ZIP 43983) ranks in the bottom 19% nationally (25,847th) and the bottom 21% of Ohio (924th).
Several measures weigh most on this area's profile, and they come first: poverty is in the top 1.2% nationally, and households without a vehicle settles in the top 1.3% nationally. Home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease registers in the top 5.6% nationally. Household income rests in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and modeled radon stands in the top 12.7% nationally. On the better side, unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover lands in the top 10.0% nationally, and transportation noise sits in the bottom 10.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, households without a vehicle runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. Close by, ZIP 43713, just across the boundary, ranks healthier 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 0.96 years of 78.4, 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
