Arsenic in groundwater

in the top 2.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST96thUS97thDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Child-care access
0.72 per 1,000 residents
in the top 4.9% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST97thUS95thDefinition & source ›
The number of child day-care services 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.
Full methodology ›Home broadband subscription
75.3%
in the bottom 10.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST9thUS10thDefinition & source ›
The share of households with a broadband internet subscription.
Full methodology ›Fatal road crashes
27.3 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 16% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST90thUS84thDefinition & source ›
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.
Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Houston, Ohio (ZIP 45333) ranks in the bottom 35% nationally (20,750th) and the bottom 45% of Ohio (641st).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: childcare registers in the top 4.9% nationally. Households without a vehicle sits at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 14.0% nationally. Crowded housing is at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Homeownership stands in the top 16% nationally. On the other hand, modeled arsenic settles in the top 2.8% nationally, modeled radon lies in the top 11.6% nationally, and home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 10.3% nationally. Fatal road crashes lands in the top 16% nationally. Recreation registers at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
In plainer terms, arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 45318, just across the boundary.

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 0.90 years of 77.0, 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.
