Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Fredericksburg, Ohio (ZIP 44627) stands in the bottom 11.9% nationally (28,269th) and the bottom 11.6% of Ohio (1,040th).
The weightiest signals in the profile are worth naming up front: households without a vehicle rests in the top 1.0% nationally, and home broadband subscription lands in the bottom 1.2% nationally. Modeled loneliness settles in the top 1.6% nationally, and cognitive disability rests in the top 4.1% nationally. Modeled colon screening lands in the bottom 6.1% nationally, radon settles in the top 8.5% nationally, and binge drinking rests in the top 7.0% nationally. Modeled tooth loss lands in the top 11.0% nationally. More positively, modeled loud transportation noise settles at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled high cholesterol rests in the bottom 8.1% nationally.
For clarity, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. ZIP 44606, 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 0.87 years of 80.6, 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.
