What defines this ZIP
Metrics where this ZIP sits in the tails of the national distribution — the ones that most set it apart. Select any tile for its definition and methodology.
Grocery access
0.92 per 1,000 residents
in the top 0.5% nationally
Higher is healthier
ST99thUS99thDefinition & source ›
The number of full supermarkets inside this ZIP’s boundary, per 1,000 residents.
Counted from establishments located inside this ZIP’s boundary, so one just across the line is not counted. Where a ZIP has too few residents for the density to be reliable, no value is published rather than an unreliable one. ZipVitals’s food-access signal is derived from these in-ZIP densities — it is not USDA’s food-desert designation, which measures distance to the nearest supermarket. Where a leg is missing, a ZIP reads “not determinable,” never “not a food desert.”

Full methodology ›The read
On the composite measure, Orwell, Vermont (ZIP 05760) stands in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,039th) and the top 27% of Vermont (67th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A balanced set of signals defines this area, not any single one: grocery sits in the top 0.5% nationally, and modeled colon screening resides in the top 4.0% nationally. Modeled short sleep stands in the bottom 9.2% nationally. Modeled extreme heat sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled loud transportation noise resides at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs. Modeled tooth loss stands in the bottom 8.7% nationally, and obesity sits in the bottom 14.8% nationally. Crowded housing resides at the national minimum, shared with about 29% of ZIPs. Modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 14.8% nationally, and diabetes sits in the bottom 11.5% nationally.
Set beside the wider area around it, grocery runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. For clarity, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. 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. ZIP 05753, about 3.4 miles away, 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 1.40 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.
