On balance, and by the composite measure, Jeffersonville, Vermont (ZIP 05464) ranks in the top 14.7% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,686th) and the top 24% of Vermont (61st), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures split the difference for this area: modeled high cholesterol is in the bottom 2.1% nationally, and diabetes stands in the bottom 2.5% nationally. Modeled tree cover settles in the top 5.3% nationally, and high blood pressure lies in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden resides in the bottom 5.7% nationally, mobility disability lands in the bottom 5.0% nationally, and fair or poor health registers in the bottom 5.4% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled coronary heart disease rests in the bottom 8.7% nationally. Against that, modeled binge drinking is in the top 7.0% nationally.
In plainer terms, 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. For a healthier nearby ZIP overall, look to ZIP 05444, 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 1.44 years of 82.4, 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.
