Arcadia, Ohio (ZIP 44804), overall, ranks in the top 44% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,198th) and the top 28% of Ohio (334th).
Reading the numbers as a whole, this area's strong points come through first: housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 8.5% nationally, homeownership resides in the top 9.9% nationally, and poverty settles in the bottom 11.1% nationally. Floodplain exposure is in the bottom 11.3% nationally, and unemployment sits in the bottom 15.0% nationally. Set against that, modeled loud transportation noise lands in the top 3.0% nationally, and transportation noise lies in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled radon stands in the top 12.2% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 13.5% nationally. Distance to an emergency room registers in the top 13.8% nationally.
Defined simply, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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 44802, just across the boundary, comes out 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 0.91 years of 80.0, 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.
