Washingtonville, Ohio (ZIP 44490), by its composite score, sits in the top 46% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,836th) and the top 31% of Ohio (364th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 1.5% nationally, and expected annual loss resides in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Walkability lands in the top 12.0% nationally, and modeled colon screening stands in the top 9.9% nationally. Pulling the other way, poverty registers in the top 7.3% nationally. Fiber broadband settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic sits in the top 11.1% nationally, household income lies in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and homeownership rests in the bottom 11.9% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 44406, about 2.6 miles away.

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 0.85 years of 79.2, 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.
