Overall, ZIP 44111, one of several in Cleveland, Ohio places in the bottom 22% nationally (24,896th) and the bottom 25% of Ohio (879th).

Walkability settles in the top 7.9% nationally, and transit sits in the top 9.6% nationally. Park land lies in the top 10.9% nationally. Distance to a community health center rests at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 4.9% nationally, loneliness is in the top 6.3% nationally, and transportation noise lands in the top 7.5% nationally. Modeled utility shutoff stands in the top 10.3% nationally, and expected annual loss registers in the top 11.1% nationally.
Beside the areas that surround it, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure.

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 0.56 years of 74.9, 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
