continue reading

Taken together, the data gives a genuinely mixed reading: walkability lies in the top 0.3% nationally, modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 0.5% nationally, and fiber broadband rests at the national maximum. Modeled expected annual loss registers in the bottom 3.1% nationally. Households without a vehicle resides at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise settles at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. On the other side, distance to a community health center is in the top 9.1% nationally, and unemployment sits in the top 9.5% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lands in the top 12.2% nationally, and binge drinking lies in the top 11.9% nationally.

Against the wider neighborhood, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. On the overall standing, ZIP 45883, about 3.2 miles away, ranks healthier.

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 2.48 years of 79.0, 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.
