The data points to real strain across a number of measures here: households without a vehicle stands in the top 1.7% nationally, modeled radon lands in the top 4.2% nationally, and modeled loneliness is in the top 3.1% nationally. Home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 4.0% nationally, modeled binge drinking rests in the top 7.0% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability lies in the top 11.6% nationally. Modeled colon screening sits in the bottom 10.5% nationally, and tooth loss settles in the top 13.6% nationally. On the brighter side, modeled high cholesterol registers in the bottom 7.1% nationally, and housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 14.3% nationally.

Defined in plain terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 44608, 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 1.41 years of 84.3, 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.
