On balance, and by the composite measure, Columbus Grove, Ohio (ZIP 45830) ranks in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,506th) and the top 20% of Ohio (231st).
The profile opens on a set of genuinely favorable readings: homeownership lands in the top 13.3% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site registers in the top 15% nationally. Modeled transportation sits in the bottom 19% nationally, and food insecurity rests in the bottom 19% nationally. On the other side, modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the top 6.3% nationally, binge drinking stands in the top 11.2% nationally, and radon settles in the top 14.3% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility lies at the national minimum, shared with about 31% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise resides in the top 16% nationally, and obesity lands in the top 14.4% nationally.
In plainer terms, 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. Distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 45817, 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 0.69 years of 79.8, 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.
