Radon
3.3 pCi/L
in the top 6.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST80thUS93rdDefinition & 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.
Full methodology ›Tree cover
66.7%
in the top 10.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST92ndUS89thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area covered by forest.
Full methodology ›Civic-institution access
0.53 per 1,000 residents
in the top 11.7% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST93rdUS88thDefinition & source ›
The number of civic and social organizations 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 ›Crowded housing

The share of occupied homes with more than one person per room, the Census definition of crowded housing.

Sherrodsville, Ohio (ZIP 44675) ranks in the bottom 30% nationally (22,489th) and the bottom 38% of Ohio (732nd).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled tree cover rests in the top 10.9% nationally, and civic lands in the top 11.7% nationally. Housing-cost burden settles in the bottom 14.9% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure rests at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss lands in the bottom 18% nationally. By contrast, modeled radon settles in the top 6.9% nationally, crowded housing rests in the top 16% nationally, and home broadband subscription lands in the bottom 18% nationally. Physicians settles at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs. Childcare rests at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs.
For context, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain". The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 44620, just across the boundary.

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 0.89 years of 79.1, 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.
