The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

Full methodology ›The read
East Dover, Vermont (ZIP 05341), on the composite measure, lands in the top 36% healthiest ZIPs nationally (11,445th) and the bottom 29% of Vermont (177th).
The readings split fairly evenly between strengths and concerns: modeled tree cover lies in the top 2.3% nationally, short sleep settles in the bottom 2.7% nationally, and humid heat stands in the bottom 4.0% nationally. Poverty is in the bottom 5.1% nationally, modeled transportation noise rests in the bottom 7.2% nationally, and modeled obesity sits in the bottom 11.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Park land lands in the top 10.0% nationally. Working the other way, modeled energy burden resides in the top 3.6% nationally, and distance to a nursing home lies in the top 8.0% nationally.
Set against the neighboring ZIPs, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In everyday language, energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. A healthier neighbor overall sits at ZIP 05301, 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 1.54 years of 80.0, 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.
