Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Patriot, Ohio (ZIP 45658) places in the bottom 13.2% nationally (27,859th) and the bottom 13.3% of Ohio (1,020th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled transportation noise sits in the bottom 4.8% nationally, and homeownership lies in the top 5.9% nationally. Park land rests in the top 7.3% nationally, and modeled tree cover resides in the top 8.7% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise is at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled pfas lands in the bottom 16% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled mammography stands in the bottom 10.4% nationally, walkability registers in the bottom 11.0% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the top 13.2% nationally. Recreation sits at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
Beside the areas that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For readers new to these terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Among nearby ZIPs, the nearest healthier one overall is ZIP 45623, 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 1.39 years of 75.9, 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.
