Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Batavia, Ohio (ZIP 45103) stands in the bottom 44% nationally (17,832nd) and the top 42% of Ohio (494th).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: park land registers in the top 10.6% nationally. Distance to a community health center lies at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Subsidized affordable housing is in the top 13.1% nationally. Distance to a nursing home registers at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Home broadband subscription lies in the top 22% nationally. By contrast, modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the top 11.0% nationally, PFOS in drinking water registers in the top 12.7% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss lies in the top 13.9% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Distance to a Superfund site registers in the bottom 19% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. PFOS in drinking water is a common one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. ZIP 45102, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 77.1, 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.
