Full methodology ›The read
East Randolph, Vermont (ZIP 05041) ranks in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,906th) and the top 41% of Vermont (103rd), based on limited data; treat as directional.
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: modeled industrial-pollution burden stands in the bottom 2.5% nationally, and home broadband subscription sits at the national maximum. Modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 2.2% nationally, and fiber broadband stands in the top 4.6% nationally. Modeled tooth loss sits in the bottom 1.5% nationally. Unemployment resides at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle stands at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk sits in the bottom 9.3% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Working the other way, homeownership stands in the bottom 7.8% nationally.
For context, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 05061, 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 1.33 years of 80.2, 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.
