The read

By its overall health score, Petersburg, Ohio (ZIP 44454) lands in the bottom 24% nationally (24,302nd) and the bottom 28% of Ohio (845th).

Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 6.3% nationally, and expected annual loss stands in the bottom 14.2% nationally. Crowded housing settles at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Outer-floodplain exposure lies at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Against that, fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic lands in the top 12.4% nationally, and slow internet speeds registers in the top 14.1% nationally. Recreation sits at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Modeled short sleep rests in the top 17% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden is in the top 18% nationally.

To translate a couple of terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 16112, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.91 years of 78.2, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

Statistically similar ZIPs nationally

Similar means a ZIP whose health profile is shaped like this one’s — the same pattern of strengths and weaknesses across the nine health domains behind the Score, not similar demographics or income. The percentage is how closely the two patterns line up. A very similar ZIP can still have a different overall Score.

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.
