Radon
3.4 pCi/L
in the top 5.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST85thUS94thDefinition & 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 ›Obesity

Full methodology ›Outer-floodplain exposure

Lower is healthier
ST90thUS84thDefinition & source ›
The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›The read
Uhrichsville, Ohio (ZIP 44683), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 9.9% nationally (28,905th) and the bottom 9.3% of Ohio (1,067th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: distance to an emergency room sits in the bottom 11.7% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover lands in the top 15% nationally. Working the other way, modeled radon resides in the top 5.8% nationally, and obesity lies in the top 2.9% nationally. Modeled short sleep settles in the top 7.0% nationally, and colon screening stands in the bottom 10.5% nationally. Modeled loneliness is in the top 15% nationally, and homeownership rests in the bottom 15% nationally. Poverty sits in the top 15% nationally.
In everyday language, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 43837, 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 0.90 years of 74.6, 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.
