Full methodology ›The read
By its overall health score, Websterville, Vermont (ZIP 05678) lands in the top 17% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,594th) and the top 31% of Vermont (76th).
Strengths and concerns sit side by side across the measures here: park land registers in the top 0.8% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden sits in the bottom 1.5% nationally. Household income rests in the top 4.1% nationally, and modeled short sleep is in the bottom 1.0% nationally. Housing-cost burden stands at the national minimum, modeled transportation noise settles at the national minimum, and poverty lies at the national minimum. Home broadband subscription resides at the national maximum, and floodplain exposure lands at the national minimum. On the other hand, unemployment registers in the top 1.5% nationally.
Weighed against the ZIPs nearby, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To translate a couple of terms, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to average road, rail, and air noise at or above 55 decibels. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". Overall, the nearest healthier neighbor is ZIP 05651, about 4.5 miles away.

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 1.48 years of 79.0, 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.
