The read

In overall standing, Bloomdale, Ohio (ZIP 44817) comes out in the bottom 36% nationally (20,497th) and the bottom 47% of Ohio (623rd).

The measures fall on both sides of the ledger for this area: modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 10.4% nationally. Crowded housing lands at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site is in the top 17% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure resides at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Set against that, modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 10.3% nationally, and transportation noise lies in the top 10.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise sits in the top 14.3% nationally, and obesity settles in the top 13.4% nationally. Recreation registers at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.

Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 43457, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.82 years of 78.6, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

Statistically similar ZIPs nationally

Similar means a ZIP whose health profile is shaped like this one’s — the same pattern of strengths and weaknesses across the nine health domains behind the Score, not similar demographics or income. The percentage is how closely the two patterns line up. A very similar ZIP can still have a different overall Score.

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.
