The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled tree cover is in the top 2.7% nationally, and home broadband subscription settles at the national maximum. Modeled high cholesterol resides in the bottom 4.9% nationally. Unemployment registers at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk rests in the bottom 7.8% nationally. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. On the other side, housing-cost burden lands in the top 0.4% nationally, and poverty sits in the top 2.9% nationally. Modeled colon screening is in the bottom 8.6% nationally.
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. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 03451, 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 1.46 years of 74.9, 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.
