Full methodology ›The read
By the composite health measure, Stockbridge, Vermont (ZIP 05772) ranks in the top 16% healthiest ZIPs nationally (5,151st) and the top 28% of Vermont (69th).
The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: modeled tree cover stands in the top 1.3% nationally, and civic lies in the top 2.0% nationally. Modeled industrial-pollution burden lands in the bottom 3.1% nationally, and transit sits in the top 6.3% nationally. Fiber broadband is in the top 6.9% nationally, and modeled fair or poor health settles in the bottom 6.3% nationally. Modeled extreme heat resides at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled tooth loss registers in the bottom 5.6% nationally, and distance to a hazardous-chemical facility rests in the top 10.4% nationally. On the other side, distance to a nursing home stands in the top 10.0% nationally.
Read against the ZIPs closest to it, park land runs far lower than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. To spell things out, industrial-pollution burden is the EPA's modeled screening score weighting industrial chemical releases by their toxicity and how many people live nearby. Distance to a hazardous-chemical facility is a plant handling large amounts of hazardous chemicals that must file an EPA risk-management plan for accidental releases. Extreme heat is a modeled count of days a year reaching a dangerously high temperature, a leading weather hazard. Close by, ZIP 05751, 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

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 1.90 years of 86.5, 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.
