In its overall standing, Troy, New Hampshire (ZIP 03465) lands in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,249th) and the bottom 29% of New Hampshire (172nd).
Reading the numbers as a whole, the picture lands somewhere in between: modeled tree cover lands in the top 5.4% nationally, fiber broadband lies in the top 8.6% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol stands in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled diabetes registers in the bottom 9.4% nationally, and poverty resides in the bottom 14.5% nationally. Modeled humid heat settles in the bottom 16% nationally. On the other side, distance to a Superfund site is at the national minimum, and distance to a community health center sits in the top 12.9% nationally. Modeled pfas lands in the top 14.9% nationally.
Against the wider neighborhood, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put simply, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Pfas is the man-made "forever chemicals" that build up in the body and environment instead of breaking down; here a modeled estimate of the chance a private well contains them. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. On the overall standing, ZIP 03452, just across the boundary, ranks healthier.

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 1.82 years of 81.2, 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.
