On balance, and by the composite measure, Rarden, Ohio (ZIP 45671) ranks in the bottom 19% nationally (26,076th) and the bottom 21% of Ohio (934th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: modeled tree cover rests in the top 4.6% nationally, and homeownership is in the top 6.9% nationally. Unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise settles at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 11.7% nationally. On the other hand, slow internet speeds resides in the top 3.8% nationally, poverty lands in the top 5.8% nationally, and modeled mammography registers in the bottom 7.4% nationally. Home broadband subscription sits in the bottom 8.8% nationally, and modeled short sleep rests in the top 9.9% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 45172, about 7.1 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 1.09 years of 72.3, 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.
