Air-toxics cancer risk
10 per million
in the bottom 2.8% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The EPA’s modeled estimate of added lifetime cancer risk from breathing outdoor air toxics, in cases per million people exposed over a lifetime.
Full methodology ›Humid extreme heat
4.8 days/year
in the bottom 2.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST8thUS3rdDefinition & source ›
The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.
Full methodology ›Energy-cost burden
5.6%
in the top 4.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST72ndUS95thDefinition & source ›
The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.
A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.
Full methodology ›Walkability
1.8 intersections/sq mi
in the bottom 6.3% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST11thUS6thDefinition & source ›
The number of street intersections per square mile — a standard street-connectivity measure; denser networks correlate with more walkable neighborhoods.
Full methodology ›Arsenic in groundwater
17.8%
in the top 7.7% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST65thUS92ndDefinition & source ›
The modeled probability that untreated groundwater in this area — the source private wells draw on — exceeds the federal arsenic limit of 10 micrograms per liter.
A modeled likelihood for untreated groundwater, the source drawn on by private wells, which are federally unregulated. It is not a measurement of treated water delivered by a public system, and it is not a test of any individual well.
Full methodology ›Binge drinking
12.2%
in the bottom 7.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST12thUS8thDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults who report binge drinking — five or more drinks on one occasion for men, four or more for women.
Full methodology ›Natural-disaster risk
in the bottom 10.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST10thUS11thDefinition & source ›
This area’s national rank on its single highest non-flood natural hazard — such as wildfire, tornado, or earthquake — in FEMA’s modeled National Risk Index; flooding is shown separately.
Full methodology ›High cholesterol
43.3%
in the top 9.4% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST86thUS91stDefinition & source ›
The estimated share of adults with high cholesterol, among those who have ever been screened for it.
Full methodology ›Housing-cost burden
13.4%
in the bottom 15% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST9thUS15thDefinition & source ›
The share of households spending 30% or more of their income on housing.
Full methodology ›Radon
1.2 pCi/L
in the bottom 33% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST1stUS33rdDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.
Full methodology ›The read
Stockholm, Maine (ZIP 04783), on the composite measure, lands in the bottom 31% nationally (22,199th) and the bottom 34% of Maine (268th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Where the data leans one way, another reading answers it: modeled air-toxics cancer risk rests in the bottom 2.8% nationally, humid heat sits in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and binge drinking registers in the bottom 7.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk resides in the bottom 10.9% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. On the other hand, modeled energy burden settles in the top 4.7% nationally, and walkability stands in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Modeled arsenic is in the top 7.7% nationally. Fiber broadband rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
In everyday language, 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. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 04736, 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 2.91 years of 82.6, 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. How distance is measured
