Grocery access
0.32 per 1,000 residents
in the top 3.4% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST98thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

Full methodology ›The read
Felicity, Ohio (ZIP 45120), overall, ranks in the bottom 25% nationally (24,092nd) and the bottom 29% of Ohio (832nd).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: grocery rests in the top 3.4% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise registers at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Distance to a community health center resides at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 16% nationally, and lead in tap water is in the bottom 18% nationally. On the other side, poverty sits in the top 8.7% nationally, and distance to an emergency room lands in the top 9.8% nationally. PFOA in drinking water lies in the top 13.3% nationally, and slow internet speeds stands in the top 14.9% nationally. Modeled loneliness rests in the top 17% nationally.
Defined simply, PFOA in drinking water is one of the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. ZIP 45106, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall.

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 0.83 years of 75.2, 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.
