Full methodology ›The read
By the composite measure, South Pomfret, Vermont (ZIP 05067) sits in the top 14.5% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,638th) and the top 24% of Vermont (60th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: fiber broadband registers at the national maximum, poverty lands at the national minimum, and modeled tree cover resides in the top 5.2% nationally. Modeled transportation noise lies in the bottom 6.6% nationally, short sleep settles in the bottom 6.5% nationally, and obesity stands in the bottom 9.4% nationally. Modeled colon screening is in the top 4.8% nationally. Households without a vehicle rests at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 8.4% nationally. Working the other way, distance to a nursing home registers in the top 8.5% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. ZIP 05031, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

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 1.90 years of 86.5, 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.
