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.

Lead in tap water

150 ppb

in the top 0.08% nationally

Lower is healthier

US99th
Definition & source ›

The lead level at the 90th percentile of tap-water samples reported by the public water systems serving this ZIP, in parts per billion — the EPA requires action above 15 ppb.

Measured from EPA records for the public water systems that serve this ZIP. Households on private wells — roughly 30% of the US population — are not covered by this measure, and this figure says nothing about their water.

Full methodology ›

Fatal road crashes

1.2 per 100,000 residents per year

in the bottom 4.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST4th
US5th
Definition & 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 ›

Walkability

150 intersections/sq mi

in the top 5.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST93rd
US95th
Definition & source ›

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

Full methodology ›

Industrial-pollution burden

in the top 5.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST88th
US94th
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

Full methodology ›

Distance to a Superfund site

0.8 mi

in the bottom 6.6% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST5th
US7th
Definition & source ›

The distance in miles from this ZIP’s edge to the nearest Superfund site — an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has listed for cleanup.

Full methodology ›

Dental provider access

0.92 per 1,000 residents

in the top 8.1% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST95th
US92nd
Definition & source ›

The number of dental offices located 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 ›

High cholesterol

31.6%

in the bottom 5.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST3rd
US6th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults with high cholesterol, among those who have ever been screened for it.

Full methodology ›

Physician access

1.7 per 1,000 residents

in the top 9.3% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST94th
US91st
Definition & source ›

The number of physicians’ offices located 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.

The read

ZIP 45419, one of several in Oakwood, Ohio, by its composite score, sits in the top 15% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,815th) and the top 6.5% of Ohio (76th).

continue reading

The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: fatal road crashes resides in the bottom 4.9% nationally, and walkability is in the top 5.4% nationally. Dental providers lands in the top 8.1% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol stands in the bottom 5.7% nationally. Physicians registers in the top 9.3% nationally, modeled hearing disability settles in the bottom 8.1% nationally, and modeled mobility disability sits in the bottom 8.0% nationally. Pulling the other way, lead in tap water lies in the top 0.08% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden rests in the top 5.6% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site resides in the bottom 6.6% nationally.

Next to the surrounding area, lead in tap water runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, lead in tap water is the EPA trigger, 15 parts per billion in tap samples, above which a water system must act on lead. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 45459, about 1.2 miles away.

Findings that name this ZIP

2 of our published findings list this ZIP code. Each finding compares one published measure against a stated benchmark, and names only the ZIP codes whose estimates are reliable enough to rank. See all surprising findings.

  • Below what income predicts

    The ZIP codes that outlive their incomes

    Estimated life expectancy is 77.0 ± 1.7 years. A median household income of $92,264 predicts 79.8 years — 2.7 years below.

    Ranked #3,784 of the 5,842 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by years above what income predicts, highest first.

  • Heavy environment, light chronic burden

    Where the environment and chronic illness point in opposite directions

    Environmental-hazard standing 14.3; chronic-disease standing 84.2 — 70 points apart, heavier on the environment than it is on chronic illness.

    Ranked #16,374 of the 18,187 ZIP codes this finding names, ordered by the gap from cleanest environment to heaviest chronic burden, highest first.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 0.89 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. How distance is measured
