By its overall health score, ZIP 45011, one of several in Hamilton, Ohio lands in the bottom 39% nationally (19,714th) and the top 50% of Ohio (587th).
The measures that press hardest set the tone here: distance to a Superfund site settles at the national minimum, and modeled expected annual loss lies in the top 2.8% nationally. Modeled disaster risk resides in the top 3.7% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden lands in the top 4.6% nationally. Modeled transportation noise registers in the top 8.9% nationally, and loud transportation noise sits in the top 10.2% nationally. On the stronger side, subsidized affordable housing rests in the top 0.9% nationally. Distance to a community health center is at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home stands at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Mental-health providers settles in the top 15% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, subsidized affordable housing runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 45013, 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 0.56 years of 77.2, 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. How distance is measured
