Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Orwell, Ohio (ZIP 44076) lands in the bottom 9.7% nationally (28,982nd) and the bottom 9.0% of Ohio (1,071st).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: distance to a nursing home resides at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. On the other hand, modeled arsenic lands in the top 3.2% nationally, and households without a vehicle registers in the top 5.0% nationally. Modeled loneliness sits in the top 6.3% nationally, distance to a Superfund site rests in the bottom 7.0% nationally, and modeled obesity is in the top 5.1% nationally. Home broadband subscription stands in the bottom 8.8% nationally, modeled cognitive disability settles in the top 11.1% nationally, and modeled tooth loss lies in the top 11.9% nationally. Walkability resides in the bottom 13.5% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 44047, 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 0.76 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.
