Full methodology ›The read
In its overall standing, Savannah, Ohio (ZIP 44874) lands in the bottom 31% nationally (22,276th) and the bottom 38% of Ohio (724th).
This area's pressures are easy to read across the measures: modeled loud transportation noise resides in the top 0.8% nationally, pfas settles in the top 4.3% nationally, and transportation noise is in the top 4.4% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to an emergency room lands in the top 10.6% nationally, and modeled arsenic lies in the top 11.8% nationally. Distance to a nursing home stands in the top 19% nationally. On the brighter side, modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure registers at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site resides in the top 19% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, loud transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. 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. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. On the overall standing, ZIP 44805, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.99 years of 81.3, 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.
