Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Venedocia, Ohio (ZIP 45894) lands in the bottom 49% nationally (16,475th) and the top 38% of Ohio (441st).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 5.6% nationally. Households without a vehicle settles at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Poverty resides in the bottom 9.2% nationally, modeled transportation noise registers in the bottom 11.3% nationally, and housing-cost burden rests in the bottom 13.9% nationally. Crowded housing stands at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. On the other side, home broadband subscription lies in the bottom 1.2% nationally, modeled radon lands in the top 13.4% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the top 13.8% nationally. Recreation is at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs.
A note on the 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. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 45874, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

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 1.65 years of 80.3, 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.
