Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, Cranberry Isles, Maine (ZIP 04625) sits in the top 27% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,592nd) and the top 21% of Maine (84th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: modeled humid heat registers in the bottom 1.5% nationally, industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 1.6% nationally, and transportation noise resides at the national minimum. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk lies in the bottom 2.8% nationally, colon screening settles in the top 1.7% nationally, and short sleep stands in the bottom 2.7% nationally. Modeled mammography is in the top 2.5% nationally. Working the other way, distance to a nursing home rests in the top 1.0% nationally, and modeled hearing disability sits in the top 3.3% nationally. Housing-cost burden registers in the top 3.1% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 04660, 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 2.89 years of 84.7, 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.
