Fatal road crashes
46.3 per 100,000 residents per year
in the top 4.9% nationally
Lower is healthier
ST99thUS95thDefinition & 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.

ST7thUS36thDefinition & source ›
The modeled typical indoor radon level for this area, in picocuries per liter — the EPA recommends fixing a home at 4 pCi/L or above.
Modeled from indoor-radon measurements. In Alaska and Hawaii, where those measurements are not published, a US Geological Survey geologic radon-potential category stands in — a coarser input, disclosed rather than hidden.

Full methodology ›The read
Judged by its overall standing, Bridport, Vermont (ZIP 05734) sits in the top 15% healthiest ZIPs nationally (4,943rd) and the top 26% of Vermont (65th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
The measures that most flatter this area set the tone for the rest: modeled short sleep is in the bottom 5.2% nationally. Unemployment lies at the national minimum, shared with about 15% of ZIPs. Modeled extreme heat registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled colon screening is in the top 7.0% nationally. Modeled loud transportation noise lies at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled diabetes registers in the bottom 7.6% nationally, and obesity is in the bottom 13.6% nationally.

Put plainly, extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Loud transportation noise is the modeled share of an area exposed to road, rail, and air noise at or above 65 decibels, near conversation volume. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 05491, 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 1.40 years of 83.0, 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.
