The share of this ZIP’s land area inside FEMA’s 0.2%-annual-chance flood band — the “500-year” zone, a lower but real 1-in-500 yearly chance.
Measured from FEMA’s mapped flood panels. Where a panel has not been mapped, no value is published for that ZIP — those ZIPs are absent from this comparison rather than counted as unexposed.
Full methodology ›The read
On balance, and by the composite measure, Cambridgeport, Vermont (ZIP 05141) ranks in the top 22% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,980th) and the top 42% of Vermont (104th).
The measures split the difference for this area: modeled disaster risk is in the bottom 1.9% nationally, and home broadband subscription stands at the national maximum. Modeled expected annual loss settles in the bottom 2.8% nationally, and colon screening lies in the top 1.2% nationally. Modeled short sleep resides in the bottom 3.8% nationally, and obesity lands in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Against that, households without a vehicle registers in the top 1.1% nationally, housing-cost burden sits in the top 3.5% nationally, and poverty rests in the top 3.6% nationally. Outer-floodplain exposure is in the top 5.7% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs it borders, households without a vehicle runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plainer terms, 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. Outer-floodplain exposure is land with a lower but real 1-in-500 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "500-year floodplain".

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 1.53 years of 82.0, 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.
