On the composite measure, Warren, Maine (ZIP 04864) stands in the top 43% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,947th) and the top 38% of Maine (154th).
The strongest marks in the data are worth naming first: distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 5.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat lands in the bottom 11.6% nationally, modeled tree cover settles in the top 13.0% nationally, and unemployment rests in the bottom 16% nationally. Fiber broadband lands in the top 18% nationally. On the other side, distance to a community health center settles in the top 15% nationally. Recreation rests at the national minimum, shared with about 35% of ZIPs. Physicians lands at the national minimum, shared with about 38% of ZIPs. Modeled arsenic settles in the top 20% nationally.
For clarity, distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Arsenic is a natural groundwater contaminant, here a modeled estimate of the chance private-well levels exceed a benchmark. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. ZIP 04563, 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.
