Full methodology ›The read
Woodstock, New Hampshire (ZIP 03293), by its composite score, sits in the top 25% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,090th) and the bottom 30% of New Hampshire (170th).
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and poverty sits at the national minimum. Home broadband subscription lies at the national maximum, and modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 3.7% nationally. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility resides in the top 4.3% nationally. Unemployment is at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle lands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, modeled loud transportation noise stands in the top 5.8% nationally, floodplain exposure registers in the top 6.6% nationally, and modeled transportation noise settles in the top 9.4% nationally.
Next to the surrounding area, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, 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. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases.

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 2.47 years of 80.2, 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.
