Full methodology ›The read
In overall standing, Ottoville, Ohio (ZIP 45876) comes out in the top 29% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,253rd) and the top 15.0% of Ohio (176th).
Both sides of the picture show up plainly in this area's numbers: modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 0.7% nationally, fiber broadband stands at the national maximum, and childcare lands in the top 2.1% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss is in the bottom 5.6% nationally, dental providers resides in the top 6.1% nationally, and physicians rests in the top 6.7% nationally. Walkability lies in the top 9.4% nationally. By contrast, modeled pfas sits in the top 1.2% nationally, and tree cover settles at the national minimum. Modeled binge drinking registers in the top 8.8% nationally.
Relative to the ZIPs around it, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. 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. 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. The nearest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 45853, about 6.7 miles away.

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 1.53 years of 84.8, 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. How distance is measured
