Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, York Harbor, Maine (ZIP 03911) stands in the top 37% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,785th) and the top 30% of Maine (121st).
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: modeled colon screening settles in the top 0.3% nationally, and household income rests in the top 3.3% nationally. Poverty lands at the national minimum, and home broadband subscription settles at the national maximum. Modeled short sleep rests in the bottom 2.1% nationally, housing insecurity lands in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and loneliness settles in the bottom 6.4% nationally. By contrast, modeled coronary heart disease rests in the top 5.6% nationally, modeled hearing disability lands in the top 6.0% nationally, and floodplain exposure settles in the top 6.2% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". ZIP 03909, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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.
