Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Acworth, New Hampshire (ZIP 03601) sits in the top 29% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,263rd) and the bottom 22% of New Hampshire (189th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: modeled tree cover registers in the top 2.1% nationally, modeled transportation noise lands at the national minimum, and homeownership resides in the top 5.7% nationally. Modeled loneliness lies in the bottom 7.3% nationally, and fiber broadband settles in the top 7.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat stands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 10.1% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Working the other way, crowded housing sits in the top 3.5% nationally, and households without a vehicle registers in the top 4.6% nationally.
In plain language, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 03607, just across the boundary, ranks healthier 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 1.21 years of 78.8, 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.
