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.

Floodplain exposure

0.00%

at the national minimum

Lower is healthier

ST1st
US1st
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 1%-annual-chance floodplain — the “100-year” flood zone, where flooding has about a 1-in-100 chance in any given year.

Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.

Full methodology ›

Loud transportation noise

2.9%

in the top 4.1% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST97th
US96th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of residents exposed to average road, rail, and aviation noise at or above 65 decibels — around the volume of normal conversation.

Full methodology ›

Natural-disaster risk

in the bottom 4.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST15th
US4th
Definition & source ›

This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.

Full methodology ›

Radon

3.2 pCi/L

in the top 7.5% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST79th
US93rd
Definition & source ›

The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.

Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

Full methodology ›

Home broadband subscription

70.5%

in the bottom 6.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST5th
US6th
Definition & source ›

The share of households with a broadband internet subscription.

Full methodology ›

Homeownership rate

95.2%

in the top 8.4% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST94th
US92nd
Definition & source ›

The share of occupied homes that are owned, rather than rented, by the people living in them.

Full methodology ›

Households without a vehicle

13.0%

in the top 9.4% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST88th
US91st
Definition & source ›

The share of households with no vehicle available.

Full methodology ›

Energy-cost burden

5.2%

in the top 7.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST96th
US92nd
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Full methodology ›

Walkability

2.3 intersections/sq mi

in the bottom 9.6% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST2nd
US10th
Definition & source ›

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

Full methodology ›

PFAS in drinking water

15.4%

in the bottom 23% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST3rd
US23rd
Definition & source ›

The modeled probability that PFAS “forever chemicals” would be detected in untreated groundwater in this area, the source private wells draw on.

A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.

The read

Dola, Ohio (ZIP 45835), by its overall standing, sits in the bottom 42% nationally (18,501st) and the top 45% of Ohio (524th).

Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: floodplain exposure rests at the national minimum, modeled disaster risk lies in the bottom 4.4% nationally, and homeownership sits in the top 8.4% nationally. By contrast, modeled loud transportation noise settles in the top 4.1% nationally, modeled radon registers in the top 7.5% nationally, and home broadband subscription stands in the bottom 6.4% nationally. Households without a vehicle lands in the top 9.4% nationally, and modeled energy burden is in the top 7.6% nationally. Walkability resides in the bottom 9.6% nationally, and modeled transportation noise rests in the top 11.4% nationally.

Defined in plain terms, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". The nearest ZIP ranking healthier overall is ZIP 45836, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.52 years of 80.1, 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.
