Sargentville, Maine (ZIP 04673), on the composite measure, lands in the top 28% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,993rd) and the top 22% of Maine (88th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: modeled short sleep stands in the bottom 1.4% nationally, air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and binge drinking rests in the bottom 3.7% nationally. Modeled loneliness sits in the bottom 5.0% nationally, mammography registers in the top 3.4% nationally, and humid heat lands in the bottom 5.8% nationally. Working the other way, modeled hearing disability resides in the top 2.6% nationally, and coronary heart disease lies in the top 3.0% nationally. Distance to a nursing home settles in the top 4.3% nationally, and modeled high cholesterol stands in the top 4.2% nationally.
In everyday language, 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. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 04616, just across the boundary.

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 1.74 years of 83.3, 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.
