Full methodology ›The read
Thetford Center, Vermont (ZIP 05075), by its composite score, sits in the top 10.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (3,231st) and the top 14.5% of Vermont (36th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures fall on both sides for this area, fairly evenly: modeled short sleep is in the bottom 1.1% nationally, and fatal road crashes lands at the national minimum. Fiber broadband stands in the top 2.3% nationally, and modeled tree cover registers in the top 4.1% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden settles in the bottom 6.0% nationally, and cognitive disability sits in the bottom 4.3% nationally. Households without a vehicle lies at the national minimum, shared with about 16% of ZIPs. Modeled independent living disability rests in the bottom 6.0% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Pulling the other way, distance to a Superfund site is at the national minimum.
For anyone unfamiliar, distance to a Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. For a healthier comparison close by, see ZIP 05043, 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 1.03 years of 82.4, 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.
