The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Brookfield, Ohio (ZIP 44403) lands in the bottom 48% nationally (16,810th) and the top 39% of Ohio (457th).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 11.9% nationally. Crowded housing stands at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Pharmacy settles in the top 16% nationally. Against that, modeled pfas lies in the top 5.4% nationally, and arsenic resides in the top 6.4% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site registers in the bottom 9.8% nationally, households without a vehicle sits in the top 15% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 15% nationally. Home broadband subscription is in the bottom 17% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, 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. 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 44425, 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 0.89 years of 76.2, 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.
