ST90thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The share of residents served by public water systems where PFOS, one of the most common “forever chemicals,” was detected in EPA testing.
Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Pleasant Plain, Ohio (ZIP 45162) stands in the top 31% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,802nd) and the top 17% of Ohio (195th).
The strongest marks in the data are worth naming first: modeled disaster risk lies in the bottom 14.6% nationally, and homeownership is in the top 15% nationally. Modeled colon screening registers in the top 17% nationally. On the other side, PFOS in drinking water lies in the top 7.3% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the top 9.9% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility registers at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Recreation lies at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. PFAS in drinking water is in the top 18% nationally, and fatal road crashes registers in the top 19% nationally. Physicians lies at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. ZIP 45152, 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 0.94 years of 78.3, 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.
