Full methodology ›The read
North Hartland, Vermont (ZIP 05052), by its composite score, sits in the top 42% healthiest ZIPs nationally (13,475th) and the bottom 16% of Vermont (210th).
The measures land in both directions, and neither dominates: modeled disaster risk registers in the bottom 5.6% nationally, and high cholesterol settles in the bottom 4.6% nationally. Unemployment sits at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Households without a vehicle lies at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled expected annual loss rests in the bottom 8.2% nationally. Pulling the other way, modeled loud transportation noise resides in the top 0.4% nationally, modeled transportation noise is in the top 2.3% nationally, and floodplain exposure lands in the top 8.7% nationally. Poverty stands in the top 9.5% nationally. Fiber broadband registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs.
Next to the surrounding area, loud transportation noise runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For anyone unfamiliar, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume.

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 2.24 years of 82.5, 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.
