Radon

ST97thUS99thDefinition & 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.

Perrysville, Ohio (ZIP 44864), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 40% nationally (19,303rd) and the top 48% of Ohio (564th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: outer-floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site settles in the top 18% nationally, and homeownership sits in the top 20% nationally. Households without a vehicle lies in the bottom 22% nationally, and modeled tree cover rests in the top 24% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled radon resides in the top 1.5% nationally, and arsenic is in the top 12.1% nationally. Physicians lands at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs. Childcare stands at the national minimum, shared with about 42% of ZIPs. Park land registers at the national minimum, shared with about 48% of ZIPs.
For anyone unfamiliar, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 44805, 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 0.75 years of 79.0, 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.
