Full methodology ›The read
Harrisville, Rhode Island (ZIP 02830) ranks in the top 17% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,525th) and the bottom 34% of Rhode Island (51st).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled mammography lands in the top 0.5% nationally, and colon screening settles in the top 2.9% nationally. Recreation rests in the top 7.5% nationally, and civic lands in the top 9.3% nationally. Modeled extreme heat settles at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Household income rests in the top 9.3% nationally, modeled tree cover lands in the top 11.8% nationally, and childcare settles in the top 12.4% nationally. Transit rests in the top 13.2% nationally. On the other side, distance to a Superfund site lands in the bottom 4.3% nationally.
Against its neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For context, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 02814, 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 1.69 years of 85.0, 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. How distance is measured
