Buckland, Ohio (ZIP 45819), in overall standing, comes out in the top 34% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,885th) and the top 19% of Ohio (219th).
A balanced showing across the data, with a few readings each side: modeled expected annual loss resides in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and walkability sits in the top 3.0% nationally. Unemployment stands at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Fiber broadband resides in the top 11.7% nationally. Crowded housing sits at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled self-care disability stands in the bottom 14.1% nationally. On the other hand, modeled transportation noise resides in the top 7.7% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 9.3% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure stands in the top 12.3% nationally, and modeled radon resides in the top 18% nationally.
Set within its surrounding area, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 45869, about 9.4 miles away.

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 1.42 years of 80.6, 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. How distance is measured
