Judged by its overall standing, Salisbury, Vermont (ZIP 05769) sits in the top 17% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,598th) and the top 31% of Vermont (77th), based on limited data; treat as directional.
A few measures carry most of this area's good news: park land sits in the top 8.4% nationally, and modeled short sleep stands in the bottom 8.8% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled obesity sits in the bottom 12.7% nationally, and colon screening stands in the top 8.9% nationally. Modeled diabetes resides in the bottom 9.4% nationally, and fair or poor health sits in the bottom 12.7% nationally. Modeled disaster risk stands in the bottom 15% nationally, and poverty resides in the bottom 16% nationally. Modeled cognitive disability sits in the bottom 15% nationally.
Placed beside its immediate neighbors, park land runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Put plainly, 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. A healthier nearby ZIP overall is ZIP 05753, 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 2.64 years of 79.3, 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.
