Overall, Miamisburg, Ohio (ZIP 45342) lands in the top 32% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,192nd) and the top 17% of Ohio (202nd).
The signals balance out across the profile, strengths against concerns: subsidized affordable housing resides in the top 3.6% nationally. Distance to a community health center registers at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Modeled high cholesterol rests in the bottom 8.5% nationally. Distance to a nursing home stands at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Set against that, distance to a Superfund site lies at the national minimum, modeled transportation noise lands in the top 6.8% nationally, and modeled pfas sits in the top 8.7% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the top 11.3% nationally, outer-floodplain exposure settles in the top 16% nationally, and modeled arsenic resides in the top 17% nationally.
Set beside the nearby areas, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. A note on the terms: distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 45066, just across the boundary, ranks better 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 0.56 years of 77.7, 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
