Racine, Ohio (ZIP 45771), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 9.6% nationally (29,000th) and the bottom 8.8% of Ohio (1,073rd).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: distance to a community health center sits at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. By contrast, modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the top 4.3% nationally, obesity registers in the top 5.1% nationally, and tooth loss stands in the top 9.2% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled coronary heart disease is in the top 9.0% nationally, and home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 10.9% nationally. Distance to a Superfund site rests in the bottom 11.0% nationally, and fatal road crashes lies in the top 11.6% nationally. Poverty sits in the top 11.7% nationally.
Held up against its neighbors, industrial-pollution burden runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined in plain terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 25253, 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 1.38 years of 79.2, 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.
