Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, York Beach, Maine (ZIP 03910) ranks in the top 13.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,382nd) and the top 5.2% of Maine (21st).
Neither strongly one way nor the other, the measures sit mixed: walkability rests in the top 0.07% nationally, and modeled food insecurity is in the bottom 1.6% nationally. Housing-cost burden stands at the national minimum, and poverty settles at the national minimum. Homeownership lies at the national maximum, home broadband subscription resides at the national maximum, and modeled expected annual loss lands in the bottom 2.9% nationally. Modeled short sleep registers in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and loneliness sits in the bottom 4.5% nationally. Against that, modeled pfas rests in the top 0.9% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, 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. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 03902, about 0.7 miles away.

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

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.
