Distance to a Superfund site
0.6 mi
in the bottom 5.8% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST5thUS6thDefinition & 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 ›Lithium in drinking water
9.9 µg/L
in the bottom 6.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST6thUS7thDefinition & source ›
The average detected level of lithium — a natural trace metal with no federal drinking-water limit yet — across the public water systems serving this ZIP, in micrograms per liter.
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 ›Industrial-pollution burden
in the top 6.6% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST84thUS93rdDefinition & 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 ›Obesity

Lower is healthier
ST92ndUS95thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with obesity, defined as a body-mass index of 30 or higher.

Higher is healthier
ST96thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of pharmacies 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 number of mental-health clinics located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.

The number of outpatient clinics 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 ›The read
By its overall health score, Belpre, Ohio (ZIP 45714) lands in the bottom 26% nationally (23,780th) and the bottom 31% of Ohio (816th).
The measures split the difference for this area: lithium in drinking water registers in the bottom 6.6% nationally, and pharmacy sits in the top 8.4% nationally. Mental-health providers rests in the top 11.0% nationally. Distance to a community health center is at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Outpatient stands in the top 12.0% nationally. Distance to a nursing home settles at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Against that, distance to a Superfund site lies in the bottom 5.8% nationally, modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 6.6% nationally, and modeled obesity lands in the top 4.9% nationally. Fiber broadband registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Lithium in drinking water is a natural metal that dissolves into some groundwater and has no federal drinking-water limit yet. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 26105, 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 0.71 years of 77.6, 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
