Zaleski, Ohio (ZIP 45698), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 14.6% nationally (27,402nd) and the bottom 15.0% of Ohio (1,000th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: modeled transportation noise lands at the national minimum, modeled expected annual loss is in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and homeownership resides in the top 6.8% nationally. Modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 8.2% nationally. By contrast, slow internet speeds lies in the top 4.1% nationally, and modeled coronary heart disease sits in the top 5.1% nationally. Home broadband subscription settles in the bottom 7.8% nationally, and modeled diabetes registers in the top 8.8% nationally. Fiber broadband stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled stroke lands in the top 10.1% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, slow internet speeds runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 45651, 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 1.24 years of 76.4, 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.
