Full methodology ›The read
Overall, Isle La Motte, Vermont (ZIP 05463) lands in the top 29% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,255th) and the bottom 44% of Vermont (139th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A number of measures place this area on solid footing: modeled short sleep sits in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 5.3% nationally. Modeled disaster risk settles in the bottom 6.5% nationally, and colon screening resides in the top 4.0% nationally. Modeled transportation noise registers in the bottom 8.1% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise rests at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Homeownership stands in the top 12.6% nationally, and modeled expected annual loss lies in the bottom 13.9% nationally. By contrast, fiber broadband lands at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Distance to a nursing home sits in the top 11.6% nationally.
A note on the terms: industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. 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. For a healthier nearby comparison, ZIP 05440, just across the boundary, ranks better overall.

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 1.37 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.
