What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Pharmacy access
0.38 per 1,000 residents
in the top 9.1% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST95thUS91stDefinition & 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.

Higher is healthier

The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.

By its overall health score, Arlington, Ohio (ZIP 45814) lands in the top 39% healthiest ZIPs nationally (12,395th) and the top 22% of Ohio (256th).
A number of signals point in a favorable direction for this area: pharmacy resides in the top 9.1% nationally. Distance to a nursing home lands at the national minimum, shared with about 27% of ZIPs. Crowded housing registers at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation sits in the bottom 19% nationally. Working the other way, modeled radon rests in the top 10.8% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Walkability stands in the bottom 16% nationally, and modeled transportation noise settles in the top 16% nationally. Distance to a community health center lies in the top 17% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the top 19% nationally.
To translate a couple of terms, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. 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. 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 45890, 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 0.99 years of 79.3, 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.
