Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Mesopotamia, Ohio (ZIP 44439) sits in the bottom 3.3% nationally (31,008th) and the bottom 2.7% of Ohio (1,145th).
A demanding profile, and several measures drive it: modeled tooth loss resides in the top 0.8% nationally, colon screening sits in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and cognitive disability stands in the top 1.3% nationally. Home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 0.5% nationally, households without a vehicle sits in the top 1.0% nationally, and modeled arsenic stands in the top 2.5% nationally. Modeled independent living disability resides in the top 4.3% nationally, and loneliness sits in the top 2.9% nationally. Modeled short sleep stands in the top 7.2% nationally. On the stronger side, modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 3.2% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, households without a vehicle runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 44062, 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 1.27 years of 80.6, 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
