The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled disaster risk sits in the bottom 10.3% nationally. On the other side, modeled tooth loss is in the top 4.1% nationally, and arsenic settles in the top 2.7% nationally. Households without a vehicle resides in the top 3.5% nationally, home broadband subscription registers in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability rests in the top 6.0% nationally. Modeled colon screening stands in the bottom 6.8% nationally, loneliness lies in the top 8.1% nationally, and independent living disability lands in the top 8.8% nationally. Modeled mammography sits in the bottom 11.3% nationally.

To spell things out, 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. Close by, ZIP 44062, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 0.94 years of 81.1, 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.
