Elder-services access

Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS89thDefinition & source ›
The number of services for older adults and people with disabilities inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

The average number of days per year with a modeled daily high of at least 95 °F.

Full methodology ›The read
Mantua, Ohio (ZIP 44255), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 44% nationally (17,880th) and the top 42% of Ohio (498th).
The profile opens balanced, with readings on either hand: elder services lies in the top 11.5% nationally, homeownership sits in the top 21% nationally, and modeled extreme heat settles in the bottom 22% nationally. Households without a vehicle registers in the bottom 22% nationally. By contrast, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas lands in the top 16% nationally. Recreation is at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic resides in the top 18% nationally, and radon rests in the top 21% nationally. Crowded housing lies in the top 23% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 44023, 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 0.90 years of 78.9, 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.
