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.

Outpatient-care access

0.92 per 1,000 residents

in the top 2.3% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST98th
US98th
Definition & source ›

The number of outpatient clinics located 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.

Full methodology ›

Energy-cost burden

5.7%

in the top 3.9% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST92nd
US96th
Definition & source ›

The modeled share of household income spent on home energy bills — electricity, gas, and heating fuels.

A modeled share of household income spent on home energy. Estimates that hit the model’s 100% ceiling are suppressed rather than published, because at that point the figure reflects the model’s limit rather than a measured burden.

Full methodology ›

Industrial-pollution burden

in the bottom 5.2% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST27th
US5th
Definition & source ›

The EPA’s modeled screening score for industrial chemical releases, weighting the amounts released by their toxicity and how many people live nearby — a relative comparison score, not a measured exposure.

Full methodology ›

Tree cover

79.1%

in the top 5.3% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST66th
US95th
Definition & source ›

The share of this ZIP’s land area covered by forest.

Full methodology ›

Humid extreme heat

12.8 days/year

in the bottom 9.6% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST29th
US10th
Definition & source ›

The average number of days per year when modeled heat stress — temperature, humidity, sun, and wind combined — reaches levels hard on the body outdoors.

Full methodology ›

Hearing disability

10.6%

in the top 12.7% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST97th
US87th
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who are deaf or have serious difficulty hearing.

Full methodology ›

Home broadband subscription

79.4%

in the bottom 16% nationally

Higher is healthier

ST10th
US16th
Definition & source ›

The share of households with a broadband internet subscription.

Full methodology ›

Fatal road crashes

26 per 100,000 residents per year

in the top 18% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST94th
US82nd
Definition & 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.

Full methodology ›

Coronary heart disease

9.2%

in the top 18% nationally

Lower is healthier

ST97th
US82nd
Definition & source ›

The estimated share of adults who have been told by a health professional that they have coronary heart disease or angina.

The read

By the composite health measure, Concord, Vermont (ZIP 05824) ranks in the bottom 35% nationally (20,697th) and the bottom 3.3% of Vermont (241st), based on limited data; treat as directional.

The picture here is genuinely mixed, with readings on both sides: outpatient sits in the top 2.3% nationally, and modeled industrial-pollution burden is in the bottom 5.2% nationally. Modeled tree cover settles in the top 5.3% nationally, and humid heat resides in the bottom 9.6% nationally. Modeled extreme heat registers at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Recreation rests in the top 10.4% nationally. Distance to a community health center stands at the national minimum, shared with about 23% of ZIPs. On the other side, modeled energy burden lies in the top 3.9% nationally, modeled hearing disability lands in the top 12.7% nationally, and distance to a Superfund site sits in the bottom 13.9% nationally.

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 Superfund site is an abandoned or uncontrolled hazardous-waste site the EPA has identified for cleanup. Energy burden is the share of household income that goes to home energy bills. Close by, ZIP 03598, just across the boundary, ranks healthier overall.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

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 1.14 years of 81.2, 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.
