What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Radon
3.3 pCi/L
in the top 6.2% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST83rdUS94thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›Arsenic in groundwater
16.1%
in the top 9.1% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST83rdUS91stDefinition & 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 ›Walkability
2.4 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 10.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST3rdUS10thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Poverty rate
3.4%
in the bottom 11.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST9thUS11thDefinition & source ›
The share of residents whose income is below the federal poverty line, from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.

The read
South Vienna, Ohio (ZIP 45369) ranks in the top 49% healthiest ZIPs nationally (15,562nd) and the top 34% of Ohio (398th).
The bright spots in the data define much of the story here: poverty resides in the bottom 11.4% nationally, and modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 15% nationally. Homeownership sits in the top 16% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure resides at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled radon stands in the top 6.2% nationally, and arsenic sits in the top 9.1% nationally. Fiber broadband resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Walkability stands in the bottom 10.5% nationally, and fatal road crashes sits in the top 17% nationally. Recreation resides at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
For context, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 43029, about 5.6 miles away.

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 0.81 years of 76.2, 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.
