By the composite measure, Moretown, Vermont (ZIP 05660) sits in the top 7.1% healthiest ZIPs nationally (2,252nd) and the top 7.3% of Vermont (18th).
The profile cuts both ways, and the readings bear that out: modeled short sleep sits in the bottom 0.2% nationally, tree cover registers in the top 2.7% nationally, and obesity lands in the bottom 7.0% nationally. Modeled fair or poor health resides in the bottom 2.3% nationally, industrial-pollution burden lies in the bottom 5.4% nationally, and mobility disability settles in the bottom 4.4% nationally. Modeled independent living disability stands in the bottom 3.6% nationally, and cognitive disability is in the bottom 5.1% nationally. Modeled diabetes rests in the bottom 5.0% nationally. Working the other way, distance to an emergency room sits in the top 6.9% nationally.
Compared with the ZIPs that surround it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. In plain language, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. ZIP 05602, just across the boundary, ranks healthier 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

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.
