By its overall health score, Newport, Ohio (ZIP 45768) lands in the bottom 22% nationally (25,165th) and the bottom 24% of Ohio (890th).
The measures split the difference for this area: modeled tree cover stands in the top 2.9% nationally, and park land settles in the top 4.8% nationally. Homeownership lies in the top 7.9% nationally, and poverty resides in the bottom 8.9% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss lands in the bottom 12.0% nationally. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Housing-cost burden sits in the bottom 14.7% nationally. Against that, modeled obesity rests in the top 2.9% nationally. Fiber broadband is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility stands at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, 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. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 45750, 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 0.74 years of 77.1, 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.
