Walkability
220 intersections/sq mi

Higher is healthier
ST93rdUS98thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Mammography

ST45thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of women aged 50–74 who had a mammogram within the past two years.
Full methodology ›Dental provider access
0.96 per 1,000 residents
in the top 7.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST90thUS93rdDefinition & source ›
The number of dental offices located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›Grocery access
0.18 per 1,000 residents
in the top 8.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST96thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”
Full methodology ›Outpatient-care access
0.46 per 1,000 residents

ST84thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The number of outpatient clinics located inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one.
Full methodology ›The read
ZIP 02910, one of several in Cranston, Rhode Island, on the composite measure, lands in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,130th) and the bottom 18% of Rhode Island (63rd).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: walkability settles in the top 2.1% nationally, modeled mammography stands in the top 1.4% nationally, and dental providers is in the top 7.5% nationally. Grocery rests in the top 8.5% nationally, outpatient sits in the top 9.3% nationally, and fiber broadband registers in the top 11.0% nationally. Home broadband subscription lands in the top 11.0% nationally. Distance to a community health center resides at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. Transit lies in the top 11.3% nationally. Working the other way, modeled loneliness settles in the top 11.2% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, distance to a community health center is a federally funded (HRSA) community health center serving everyone regardless of ability to pay. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 02888, 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 0.58 years of 78.9, 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.
