The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

ST96thUS86thDefinition & source ›
The annual rate of fatal road crashes per 100,000 residents, pooled over a ten-year window.
A rate per resident population. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the rate to be reliable — about 30% of US ZIPs — no value is published rather than an unstable one; those ZIPs are absent from this comparison, not counted as crash-free.

Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Marshfield, Vermont (ZIP 05658) stands in the top 31% healthiest ZIPs nationally (9,814th) and the bottom 41% of Vermont (147th).
A profile of give and take, with clear readings each way: modeled short sleep lies in the bottom 0.5% nationally, and industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 2.7% nationally. Modeled tree cover registers in the top 8.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat lies at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled humid heat is in the bottom 9.9% nationally, and obesity registers in the bottom 13.9% nationally. On the other side, slow internet speeds lies in the top 8.2% nationally, modeled energy burden is in the top 10.9% nationally, and fatal road crashes registers in the top 14.3% nationally. Distance to an emergency room lies in the top 16% nationally.
For clarity, 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. Humid heat is a modeled heat-stress measure combining temperature, humidity, sun, and wind to gauge heat on the body outdoors. ZIP 05650, 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 1.62 years of 85.6, 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.
