On the composite measure, New Springfield, Ohio (ZIP 44443) stands in the bottom 27% nationally (23,478th) and the bottom 32% of Ohio (801st).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 8.3% nationally, and floodplain exposure registers in the bottom 10.9% nationally. Lithium in drinking water lies in the bottom 13.4% nationally. Crowded housing is at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Outer-floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. On the other side, housing-cost burden lies in the top 13.5% nationally, modeled coronary heart disease is in the top 13.3% nationally, and poverty registers in the top 16% nationally. Modeled pfas lies in the top 16% nationally. Recreation is at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. 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. ZIP 44408, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.71 years of 78.1, 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.
