Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: modeled transportation noise lies at the national minimum, and industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 6.5% nationally. Modeled obesity lands in the bottom 9.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss sits in the bottom 9.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Walkability is in the top 12.1% nationally, and modeled colon screening stands in the top 9.2% nationally. Against that, floodplain exposure settles in the top 6.8% nationally. Fiber broadband lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, outer-floodplain exposure runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 02632, 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 1.57 years of 80.8, 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
