In its overall standing, Bowersville, Ohio (ZIP 45307) lands in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,779th) and the top 14.2% of Ohio (166th).
Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: modeled expected annual loss is in the bottom 2.3% nationally, modeled disaster risk sits in the bottom 2.4% nationally, and walkability lands in the top 2.9% nationally. Floodplain exposure lies at the national minimum, and housing-cost burden stands in the bottom 9.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled tree cover resides at the national minimum, and unemployment settles in the top 11.6% nationally. Distance to an emergency room is in the top 14.5% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". On the overall standing, ZIP 45314, about 7.8 miles away, ranks healthier.

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 2.20 years of 77.2, 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.
