Fatal road crashes
0 per 100,000 residents per year
at the national minimum
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS1stDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Mapleton, Maine (ZIP 04757) stands in the top 44% healthiest ZIPs nationally (14,163rd) and the top 38% of Maine (157th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: fatal road crashes registers at the national minimum, and modeled humid heat lies in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Modeled air-toxics cancer risk is in the bottom 5.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled mammography lies in the top 9.6% nationally, colon screening is in the top 10.2% nationally, and tree cover registers in the top 17% nationally. Working the other way, walkability lies in the bottom 3.3% nationally, modeled arsenic is in the top 11.5% nationally, and modeled energy burden registers in the top 10.6% nationally.
For clarity, air-toxics cancer risk is a modeled EPA estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air, per million people. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 04743, about 25 miles away, 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

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 1.20 years of 77.2, 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.
