The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.

A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

The read

Fayetteville, Ohio (ZIP 45118), overall, ranks in the bottom 46% nationally (17,162nd) and the top 40% of Ohio (465th).

Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: fatal road crashes sits in the bottom 9.4% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Crowded housing lies at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 16% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure rests at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. On the other side, distance to an emergency room registers in the top 15% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 17% nationally. Modeled short sleep settles in the top 16% nationally, and PFOS in drinking water is in the top 18% nationally. Physicians sits at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs.

Defined simply, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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. ZIP 45122, about 0.2 miles away, comes out healthier overall.

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 1.33 years of 76.5, 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.
