Full methodology ›The read
Tunbridge, Vermont (ZIP 05077) ranks in the top 30% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,691st) and the bottom 42% of Vermont (145th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The strongest marks in the data are worth naming first: modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 2.9% nationally, and short sleep settles in the bottom 3.6% nationally. Modeled tree cover rests in the top 6.0% nationally, and fiber broadband lands in the top 6.3% nationally. Modeled humid heat settles in the bottom 8.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat rests at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise lands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility settles in the top 11.8% nationally, and transit rests in the top 12.3% nationally. Crowded housing lands at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs.
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. 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. The closest ZIP that ranks healthier overall is ZIP 05041, 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 1.49 years of 82.3, 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.
