Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Haviland, Ohio (ZIP 45851) ranks in the bottom 41% nationally (19,014th) and the top 47% of Ohio (549th).
The measures split the difference for this area: housing-cost burden resides in the bottom 6.8% nationally, and modeled disaster risk lands in the bottom 7.7% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise registers at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled transportation noise sits in the bottom 11.9% nationally, and households without a vehicle rests in the bottom 17% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure is at the national minimum, shared with about 36% of ZIPs. Against that, walkability stands in the bottom 10.4% nationally, modeled pfas settles in the top 13.4% nationally, and modeled radon lies in the top 18% nationally. Recreation resides at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
In plainer 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. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Radon is a radioactive soil gas the EPA identifies as the top cause of lung cancer in nonsmokers. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 45880, 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 0.88 years of 78.0, 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.
