By the composite health measure, Enfield, New Hampshire (ZIP 03748) ranks in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,020th) and the top 50% of New Hampshire (121st).
A handful of measures stand out most sharply across the profile here: unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled obesity is in the bottom 10.5% nationally, and tree cover settles in the top 8.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden registers in the bottom 11.1% nationally, modeled fair or poor health rests in the bottom 9.1% nationally, and recreation stands in the top 11.9% nationally. Modeled food insecurity lies in the bottom 12.2% nationally, housing insecurity lands in the bottom 13.3% nationally, and humid heat sits in the bottom 13.7% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Close by, ZIP 03284, 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 1.14 years of 78.3, 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.
