Fort Recovery, Ohio (ZIP 45846), by its composite score, sits in the top 33% healthiest ZIPs nationally (10,554th) and the top 18% of Ohio (213th).
The clearest bright points in the data come first here: housing-cost burden is in the bottom 12.2% nationally, and poverty lands in the bottom 14.5% nationally. Unemployment stands in the bottom 16% nationally, and modeled mobility disability registers in the bottom 15% nationally. Homeownership settles in the top 17% nationally, modeled vision disability sits in the bottom 11.8% nationally, and modeled self-care disability lies in the bottom 14.1% nationally. By contrast, modeled binge drinking rests in the top 7.0% nationally, radon resides in the top 10.2% nationally, and arsenic is in the top 9.9% nationally.
For anyone unfamiliar, radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark.

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 0.90 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.
