Full methodology ›The read
Macksburg, Ohio (ZIP 45746), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 26% nationally (23,862nd) and the bottom 30% of Ohio (819th).
The data opens on a genuinely even set of readings: households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled tree cover registers in the top 10.1% nationally, and expected annual loss settles in the bottom 11.8% nationally. Crowded housing sits at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies in the top 17% nationally. On the other side, modeled obesity rests in the top 4.4% nationally, modeled coronary heart disease resides in the top 15% nationally, and slow internet speeds is in the top 18% nationally. Modeled high blood pressure lands in the top 18% nationally, and distance to a nursing home stands in the top 21% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.

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 77.3, 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.
