Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Newfane, Vermont (ZIP 05345) stands in the top 26% healthiest ZIPs nationally (8,462nd) and the top 50% of Vermont (124th).
Several signals sit on each side of the ledger here: mental-health providers registers in the top 0.7% nationally, and childcare lies in the top 1.5% nationally. Modeled tree cover is in the top 2.5% nationally, and civic registers in the top 3.1% nationally. Modeled short sleep lies in the bottom 2.4% nationally, pharmacy is in the top 3.7% nationally, and outpatient registers in the top 5.9% nationally. Modeled obesity lies in the bottom 8.9% nationally. Modeled extreme heat is at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Working the other way, modeled energy burden registers in the top 8.7% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, mental-health providers runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. ZIP 05143, just across the boundary, ranks better overall among the ZIPs nearby.

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 0.91 years of 81.2, 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.
