Full methodology ›The read
Proctorsville, Vermont (ZIP 05153), on the composite measure, lands in the top 20% healthiest ZIPs nationally (6,450th) and the top 38% of Vermont (95th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: childcare stands in the top 1.3% nationally, modeled tree cover is in the top 4.3% nationally, and transit rests in the top 8.9% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 9.5% nationally. Modeled extreme heat registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled fair or poor health lands in the bottom 10.3% nationally, and high cholesterol resides in the bottom 9.1% nationally. Modeled obesity lies in the bottom 15% nationally, and diabetes settles in the bottom 10.7% nationally. Modeled mobility disability stands in the bottom 13.0% nationally.
In everyday language, 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. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 05062, 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 1.46 years of 83.0, 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.
