Bellbrook, Ohio (ZIP 45305), overall, ranks in the top 9.0% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,854th) and the top 3.3% of Ohio (38th).
This area's most favorable readings come through plainly in the numbers: modeled food insecurity registers in the bottom 3.3% nationally, transportation resides in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and housing insecurity settles in the bottom 4.9% nationally. Modeled colon screening is in the top 4.6% nationally, dental providers sits in the top 7.5% nationally, and modeled cognitive disability lands in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Subsidized affordable housing lies in the top 7.8% nationally, and modeled independent living disability stands in the bottom 4.8% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health rests in the bottom 5.4% nationally. On the other side, modeled radon registers in the top 8.8% nationally.
Measured against the nearby ZIPs, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Subsidized affordable housing is the main federal tax-credit program (HUD) funding affordable rental housing, counted as local units it supports. ZIP 45458, just across the boundary, comes out healthier overall. This area also sits on the healthier half of the national range on at least seven of the ten good-life measures tracked here, from quiet and green space to nearby care, a combination reached by about one in twenty-five US ZIP codes.

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 0.84 years of 81.6, 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
