Full methodology ›The read
Shade, Ohio (ZIP 45776), by its composite score, sits in the bottom 26% nationally (23,656th) and the bottom 31% of Ohio (809th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: civic stands in the top 2.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden registers in the bottom 7.6% nationally. Modeled tree cover settles in the top 8.3% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility sits in the top 10.7% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 11.9% nationally. Pulling the other way, home broadband subscription rests in the bottom 3.8% nationally, crowded housing resides in the top 4.9% nationally, and unemployment is in the top 9.2% nationally. Fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Poverty stands in the top 10.8% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 45710, 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 1.86 years of 77.5, 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.
