A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Lakewood, Ohio (ZIP 44107) sits in the top 21% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,883rd) and the top 10.6% of Ohio (124th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: fatal road crashes sits in the bottom 5.7% nationally, modeled hearing disability registers in the bottom 5.7% nationally, and modeled stroke lands in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Modeled mobility disability resides in the bottom 6.5% nationally, high blood pressure lies in the bottom 6.7% nationally, and diabetes settles in the bottom 5.3% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease stands in the bottom 7.0% nationally. On the other hand, modeled binge drinking is in the top 1.2% nationally, and homeownership rests in the bottom 6.6% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 8.7% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. ZIP 44116, 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 0.45 years of 77.1, 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
