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.

ST1stUS15thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

The estimated share of adults with high cholesterol, among those who have ever been screened for it.
Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Tippecanoe, Ohio (ZIP 44699) places in the bottom 29% nationally (22,645th) and the bottom 37% of Ohio (746th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled transportation noise registers in the bottom 7.8% nationally, and tree cover settles in the top 8.8% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Crowded housing lies at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas rests in the bottom 14.8% nationally. Pulling the other way, home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 4.2% nationally, modeled radon is in the top 8.1% nationally, and slow internet speeds lands in the top 11.9% nationally. Modeled coronary heart disease stands in the top 15% nationally. Recreation registers at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
For readers new to these terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 44693, 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 1.04 years of 75.7, 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.
