Radon
3.7 pCi/L
in the top 3.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST91stUS96thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

Lower is healthier
ST99thUS94thDefinition & source ›
The share of occupied homes with more than one person per room, the Census definition of crowded housing.

Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS87thDefinition & source ›
The number of pharmacies located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.

Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Magnolia, Ohio (ZIP 44643) sits in the bottom 28% nationally (23,180th) and the bottom 33% of Ohio (785th).
What the numbers press hardest on defines much of the story here: modeled radon lands in the top 3.7% nationally, and crowded housing resides in the top 6.1% nationally. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Slow internet speeds settles in the top 15.0% nationally, and modeled obesity stands in the top 13.4% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure is in the top 17% nationally. On the encouraging side, modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center sits at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Pharmacy registers in the top 13.1% nationally, and outpatient lands in the top 17% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, outer-floodplain exposure runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, 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. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. ZIP 44620, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 79.3, 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.
